Hay EMS just my opinion here, I would not want to go with a less aggressive tire on the front for riding in the mud.

hahaha..... O no u didnt.......lol..... big gun vs muzzy........ GMC vs Ford..... lol... its an all out battle...
Yea im a big car gear head...

Shelby, i was thinking of getting the dunlop 606 front... its still pretty aggressive, but that last ride i went on, the stock front tire had me sliding all over the place, and the 606 front looks like a decent tire.

GT you have bridgestone dueller tires on your f150 too huh?

Anyway about the tires, I have had my 606 on for about 1000 miles, and its about half worn. Mostly street riding, and its never let me down. In fact I haven't slipped once, and on the gravel logging roads its awesome. I will be going to the full set of Kenda tires as soon as these tires wear out together. My original 603 on the front has 3800 miles and still looks pretty good. After the Kenda's wear out, I am definitely going back to the 606 not only because it is a good tire, but also because it keeps the bike tall for me. Here is a picture of the 606 in the middle and the kenda tires on each side. See what I mean?

I went with the front and back 606's...I checked around and it appeared that Chaparral had a good deal with the 90/90 front tire for $56.99 and the 120/90 rear for $58.99. They do tag you with a $9 buck per tire oversize fee but dont charge additonal for shipping... Also be sure to get the extra thick tubes when you install them....
