Hey all -
Along with some of the goodies that came with my bike is an unused Pirelli MT13 front tire. Its gotta be a few years old but looks nice and clean. Do any of you had experience with this tire, good or bad or indifferent? I just installed a MT21 on the rear, replacing the original Dunlop. The original Dunlop is still on front with 1/2 tread or better remaining, but I'm thinking about putting on the MT13 so I can run new tread on both. Thoughts?
Thanks.

 

I think thats the tire my buddys run and like it... The stock dunlop sucks. i even had a 606 on the front and it washed out all the time, i put a non dot tire on and it is much better, i can trust it in the dirt alot more now.

 

A quick google search didn't turn up much on a Pirelli MT13. Is that a knobby or a trials tire?

 

It's a knobby...and I got the number wrong. It's MT17 and still not much out there on the google. I think the 19 or 21 may have replaced it as its a lot like my MT21 rear. I'm going to put it on and give 'er a try.

 

Is it a DOT tire?

 

Yes, it is.
