Front tire choices

[Magoo69]

I’m struggling to find a front tire that I really like for my Varg. I predominantly ride single track, fairly soft terrain, some roots almost no rocks and some sand. I tried front tires that I like and used on my KTM but they didn’t perform as well on the Varg. I’m guessing the extra weight is a factor.
I also use Tubliss and typically run low ish tire pressures. 8 psi rear and 9-10psi front…again I think the extra weight of the Varg along with the stiff suspension is a factor.

I’ve tried on the front:

-Stock Pirelli: not great
- IRC VX 30: pretty good
- IRC VX 40: not great

Next ones I try will be:

- Dunlop MX 34
- Dunlop AT 81

FYI: At the rear I’ve been using the MOTO Z Arena Hybrid Gummy. Wow, great tire.

I ride gnarly Arkansas s/t with rocks and roots everywhere. With the stock suspension everything sucked. Did a re-valve and put in .44 springs was much-o better. Also pulled the tubes and installed UHD tubes. Running 12 psi and the stock front is working well although at 15 hours it's starting to shed side knobs. I'll put on my Go-To tire which is a Bridgestone M59.

Bridgestone M59 is great especially in New England terrain but the carcass does get clapped out quicker than others.

I just bought 2 from rocky mt mc/atv for $110 each then they sent me info saying I am getting $50 Bridgestone rebate!
