 :ricky: For comfort and safety one needs to spend a bit more to get quality stuff. I need to change my front tyre too - current one (Continentale Enduro Pro) does not "feel" right / comfortable in corners and especially on dirt. Where did you buy your new front and at what price?

When the Mitas rears come in i'l be hard pushed to move away from TKC80's in the front. I have only ever used the Scorpion or TKC in the front as well so don't have front end experience regarding different brands....but i do read , watch & learn! No reason to use anything else! :)

I use full on MX tires front on tubeliss rims, they are difficult to seat, but the improvement when braking and cornering is great. I have a Dunlop on the front at the moment that is beter than the TKC offroad, however I am a bitscared of it at speeds on tar.

Cool!! I will build one and put up some picks to check if anyone else would like one, if it looks good and isn't that crazy to build I will make a couple of them..  :thumleft:
