Same experience here with the Front & Rear Trackmasters. Last set was K270's and front on that was MUCH more scarey on loose sandy gravel, almost had a head on with sideXside after deflecting off a small rock, that convinced me to go Trackmasters! Rear is way better on terrain around here and front is safer but still not great. Now tire pressures will make a HUGE difference so make sure to adjust accordingly.

No kidding! Just lucky she was paying attention, my guardian angel in that Side x Side! She reacted like a champ, good thing there was an out on her side.

In the raw footage you can see the small rock that kicked the tire out leaning the bike over launching me towards the ATV. Funny thing is we hadn't passed another ATV all day and these are park roads occasionally shared with ATV's for short sections. Still, must have been my lucky day.

If you know GoPro footage, you know how close this was. Rack was 3-4" from my handguards, YIKES!

I run a trackmaster rear and a Pirelli MT21. I ride almost all off road. I find myself trailering in more and more.

I am happy with this combo and have no complaints. I'll be reupping with the time comes. I like the MT21 better than other tires I have had up front.

I also like the MT21 and think it works great front and rear. It just wears out too fast for me in the terrain I ride in.
