Default A little help!!!!!!!

I would like some advice on tires. In rural South Dakota, my 6mile commute consists of 4.5 miles of sandy gumbo mud when its wet and loose loamy powder when its dry. The stock tires are not cutting it!! What are ya'll's picks for the most aggressive dual-sport tire or the best loose condition off-road tire on the market? thanks.

Pirelli Mt-21 worked good for me in the mud, but wear fast on the pavement. Kenda trackmasters are pretty good also and cheaper to buy. They are both dot approved.

Hmm, you like the gritty ed on the front huh......you've ridden my harder sand ems, think it would work good in the real soft stuff too? Does it hold up ok on asphalt?

I just purchased the Kenda K760 Trakmaster II front and rear. I haven't tried them out yet, but they were reasonably priced and are DOT approved as 20 on road 80 off-road.

The Trackmaster II rear is a proven long lasting off-road tire......lasts a long time on asphalt....but slides a little..lol.

Now the front tire is the one that needs a good solution......the tmII front is just ok....hmmmm the "gritty ed" lol...funny name.
