Was thinking on the pirelli mt 21 but when I went to chaparral trackmaster 2 was on sale . Bought the set. Rides ok on street . will test this remember on the trail. Also installed rim locks front and back. tire tech said my front tires doesn't need to be balanced because it has the thing between the disc and the hub. It's rubber. Whats it called? He said it automatically balances the front tires at speed. I never read it being mentioned on the forums.

What do you guys think of the Trackmaster for the front? My new to me KLX came with a new Track master on the back and the original Dunlop on the front - which needs to be replaced. I like the rear Kenda and was ready to pull the trigger on a new front Track master at rockymtn, but there were some negative comments there regarding using it on the front. Any thoughts? I want something aggressive, I run Kenda 270's on the KLR but want something more aggressive for the KLX. Mixed conditions out here- muddy, rocky, etc.
I know, another tire question.

Don't know about your newer bike. You'll know soon enough when you get up to speed on pavement. pogo stick bike.

I think many of the guys on here run non DOT tires. In most cases I think the difference between DOT and non DOT tires is the fact that it takes extra $$ for the tire mfg to get them DOT certified. Agree that it isn't worth the trouble if your bike gets inspected. I run non DOT tires here in IL.

Don't want to be on the wrong side of the law in case of an accident. Insurance companies can deny claims if your on the wrong end in an accident due to non compliance on stuff like that....

NOT likely. If you've got rim locks, at very least your front wheel will need to be balanced. You might want to switch tire techs.
