Post subject: | DR350 Tyres |
Hello I am trying to replace the tyres on my DR350 and ordered a pair of Maxxis Maxcross IT M7304 & M7305 tyres in the stock sizes of 80/100-21 51M front tyre and 100/100-18 64M rear tyre from Demon Tweeks on a 3 day delivery. Several phone calls and emails later this is now out to 3 weeks and I have no faith that they will supply the tyres then. The rear tyre size seems to be the problem. My question is - can I alter the rear tyre size to get something they do have in stock or will I ruin the handling? They have Pirelli MT21's in 80/90-21 and 110/80-18 would these be suitable? Sorry for the daft question but I have not had to buy off-road tyres before. |

I always ran 120 mt21 rear tyre on my dr. I think a 140 was squeezed in once. Pirelli mt21 for 60/40 trail. Fantastic tyre for summer trails, lasts well too. The maxis like the ac10 is wide for its size ie a 100 is really the same as a 120 and a 120 is actually a 140. Daemon thieves as some refer to them ain't worth dealing with. If you want a knarly tyre ring up or visit endurotyres.com. AC10 rear and comp 4 or 6 front. Always good deals and advice. And trf discount. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

Just insist on a full refund and take your business elsewhere. If you paid by credit card call them and cancel the transaction as no goods sent. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

Thanks but he seems to only offer Michelin AC10, I was hoping to try something different this time. |
