New rear tire for the XR

Posted by on August 2, 2010

Its mainly my dad that uses this bike but since its used for everything from long runs on tarmac to gravel and some single trails. It didn’t take to look before the tire looked like this:

My dad helped out some so it was quick getting the wheel off the bike and into the garage, quickly started getting the tire off …remember all you out there SPROCKET DOWN:

But we got the “new” Dunlop D908RR in place, most 950 users talk very highly about this tire but can’t say i was super impressed, sure it was good on gravel but for the tarmac i prefer the TKC80 and the gravel they feel similar. Maybe for sand and mud the 908 would be better but didn’t test much of that.

Now it will serve its days on the XR and there it will probably last a long time:
