I've tried the Kenda big blocks, the Maxxis M6024, and the Shinko Mobbers, and by far, I love the Mobbers most for on and off road behavior. The soft rubber compound, I think, has a lot to do with it. You should review a set on your channel!
Here in New Zealand in the early 80s, you could get your license at 15, and many of us young guys rode XR Hondas, (the Prolink models had just come out, and were a very popular bike. I remember there was a row of about 15/20 at my high school bike parking area, including mine😃). They, along with other Enduro bikes like IT and TT Yamahas, and PE Suzukis etc, were fully road legal. We always ran full knobbly tyres, (i'm talking full moto-cross tyres), and i can't remember it being an issue. Many roads back then, when you got off the main highways (and even many of them) were metal/gravel, and there was countless forestry logging tracks, fire breaks, beaches and bush trails for riding on, so no one ever put road tyres on their bikes.(unless it was a road bike) It did get a bit iffy later when i bought a Yamaha IT490, the brutal power band, full knobblies and a wet road made it downright dangerous unless you rode like you were on egg shells😆.
Nice film, but everywhere is as dry as dust. As you admitted, it's in the wet that you have to be careful with knobblies. Test them again in a monsoon - we could do with a laugh!
I bought my first Surron 2023 light bee road legal. With the stock knobby tyres. Any advice what to look out for when riding on roads. Will it skid or slip out? Wet weather... I will change to a different tyre later
Hello, I’d just advise taking it easy in the wet. I never had the back wheel go on the tyres but the ride was terrible. Well worth changing them for road or 50/50 as it’s so much better.
