    All the reports I hear are that it’s very rocky and a tyre chewer so an older tyre if you have one knocking around may be the go. I’ll have my new steering damper by then :woohoo:

    Wouldnt run a fortune up there myself Boony. I have only ever seen two fortunes run now and both have had a hole torn in the side wall by a rock, and my god Louee has some rocks. They seem to be a cheap tyre with a cheap case? Just what I have seen, Champo tore a hole in the side wall of his

    Champo did his with a stick I think, it wasn’t even a rock if I remember correctly.

    Higher pressure might help against getting a flat, but a fortune on rocks running 18psi :ohmy: The ribs will be the least of your worries!

    No.

    Try a Dunlop 756 mate, good all rounder about the same price. Or if you can get one, a Maxxis IT.

    I have a Dunlop 952 on the back (756 on the front) and it seems fine with all the rocky stuff. I normally run 14 psi but as TB said 18 psi would be better at Louee. There are some rocky parts right up the back.

    I have a Carsbad on the back of the Husky and it’s going ok. Has got me up most hills and even gripped enough to flip on one hill. What issues have you had with them ECKS?
