    Had one once. Came on my old XR630 when I got it. Never bought another as it flew apart like a chinese mini bike.

    I bought a set once. Front was scary and I ditched it after one ride. Rear was ok but not good lasted ok but would never buy another set.

    I’m pretty sure they’re made by Avon which says it all really :P I had a set on my VFR400 road bike and they were shocking!

    The dirt tyres may be better, I wouldn’t know, but I think they are relatively uncommon for a good reason from the sounds of it.

    Eurotred ( Bridgestone) are the distribiutor, don’t know if they are related.

    If you are after a cheap rear. For $79, Ballards sell a “DURO”, made by one of the big manufacturers.

    Ran one on my old WR450 before I sold it, did a big ride at Coffs on it & was told that by the time I reach Belingen I’ll wish I didn’t have it. Was totally the opposite it was the tyre to have in the wet conditions.

    Then ran it for a couple of rides at Clarence & it held up ok
