I'm constantly trying new tires that no one else I ride with wants to be the 1st to try....
and if I don't like the tire, I tell them it worked great just so they go buy one anyways....

that looks like a fairly aggressive tire...I wouldn't hesitate to try it....it's got decent reviews.
Excuse me, ma'am...but you've got extremely nice legs!!!...what time do they open???                                                                                                               https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n8tCgN3aryQ

I am patiently waiting on a Kenda Equilibrium rear tire.The GT 216 looks like it would be a good front to go with it.

I have been running the Kenda Trak Master 2 on my little bikes lately with decent luck. Using them in the hard rocky southern NV dirt. There not the best tire out there but they perform relatively close to the maxxis IT But they cost about $50 a piece.
The 2-smoke runs deep in this one...

Motosport exclusive. The front tire side walls become soft after about 4 or 5 rides. The tires do not chunk or tear off knobs in the Nevada desert and wear like iron. If it wasn't for the side wall issue on the fronts these tires would be perfect as they handle great!

I want to try an Artrax eventually...some of their tires look pretty aggressive.

I'll never buy a different front than one of these...this thing sticks like Velcro on soft to medium terrain...period.
