Shinko 705.

But in 130 width instead of my normal 120!

Could get a good lean boot scrape going with the death wings the DR came with. Weren't confidence inspiring offroad but not all that bad either.

yeah, didn't really think you'd stray too far from home. 130 wide is a tractor tire size, think how much easier its gonna be to collect a gorse puncture out in the boonies with a shoe that big

35k on 130 T63s (not the same tyre) not had any punctures but then again looking ahead helps

Latest review on the MotoZ Tractionator Desert H/T (rear)

**TangoCharlie** · 29th December 2015, 16:36

It's time to replace my rear tyre again. I use the DR about 50% on seal, 40% shingle and 10 % off road.

I have tried a Kenda 760, Dunlop 606, and have a Mitas E09 on now which is ok, but has lasted less than 2000km.

Was thinking about a Shinko 244 or 700?

I'm liking the Shinko 805's only done 3000 km mainly on road 2 up with luggage. They are good on road, very good on gravel and dirt. i've not tried them in mud yet

Good news this.Should suit my riding style perfect then.I got a set of 804/805s waiting to go on my DR.Bang for buck reviews off the net forums on these were looking good under research.

.

The stock trailwings rear only lasted me 4500km before balding out in the middle.

DR350, and you could at least buy me a beer before you ask for pictures of my dick

Not even close to it on the Kendas I run now. I can't even get to the edge of the MT21 on the front with those tbh, but then that's not what they're for so I can live with it
