Goldentyre GT216AA "Fatty" front

[Philip]

Went to practice in the sand today. New Goldentyre Fatty in the front with Tube Saddle, at 6psi! The tire worked great. This is my new favorite sant and rock tire.

It is sized at 90/100-21. Wider that average, with a larger OD, and with stiff sidewalls. This allows to run lower tire pressures. I noticed that at 6psi the tire tracks straight, rolls on top of the sand, and instead of digging in in tight turns it just hooks up.

Sand and rocks? I've never tried one of their tires but I hear a lot of people like them.

Sand. And sand with rocks, when you are forced to run higher pressures in order not to dent the rims.

Maybe big rocks too, on high-speed tracks/trails. But not the wet and slippery kind, there you need a soft sidewall again.

Apparently, you can try this tire for just $52, if you buy the Shinko branded version -- a Shinko 216MX Fatty Front.
