I would not run Kenda K270 in sand or soft terrain. Probably a better choice for soft stuff would be the KendaK760 Trakmaster. The K270 tend to be squirrly in sand. Only by accleratering can I put the KLX in a straight line. The K270 is better suited for the meduim to hard surface, like loose dirt to packed dirt. And they are just at home on the street too.

MT16 is better than a TMII in Sugar ...but not by much, Lear. All the other tires suck in the soft stuff.

I sent it over two hours ago. Check again.

It's nothing too top secret though. I wouldn't have thought it would work so well, but it sure fooled Rosco P. Coletrain.

Razor blade off the DOT stamp from an old DOT tire and glue it onto the sidewall of the non-DOT tire.

they changed the law for DOT tires in pa.... as long as the tire doesnt say "not for high way use" its good, it doesnt have to say "DOT".
