ALthough it is funny, it's a debated subject on the DRZ400sm if running a rear tire on the front. I would and will, I just need a 2nd front tire. Would you?? http://img166.imageshack.us/img166/3816/2007060918 erzberg20207vk7.jpg |

That's just wrong! It needs RED hand-guards! |

I would but remember it has to be mounted opposite from the rear wheel if it is directional. I plan on doing such to the Uly just as soon as I have some time to get new trees that are wider. |

I like it, but then I am riding a street bike in the gravel pits too. |

I believe some people have done this with TKC-80s on a Uly. They just shaved off some of the knobs that hit the forks during rotation. Seemed to work pretty well for them. |

Any rear wheel knobbie will work Noevo, But prob want to try a 110/17 rear a lot of places make them. Just remember cornering ability is drastically reduced, especially in the rain. DOn't try to drag a knee. http://www.motorcycle-superstore.com/2/29/392/1498 2/ITEM/IRC-Volcanduro-VE-33-Intermediate-Rear-Tire .aspx |

The TKC-80 130 will not work. I tried it and it did function for about 1000 miles and then it started rubbing the side wall not the knobs. I have a cheinshing 4.60 front($30) that is not DOT with a tube and it works great as long as you remember it is not for street use. So, if anyone knows of someone looking for a lightly used TCK 130 size I have a tire for them. |
