robertaccio 406 Posted November 13, 2014 Good Call ADV-Bum!!!, I also just checked in yea, Michelin makes a an M16 (90/100-21) designed for use in only one of their tires the HP4 series starcross hard terrain tire. I spoke with ZipTy it seems that they have a line on those and they are on order. Hopefully no more mousse cutting and stuffing. Last time I checked the chart the M15 (90/90-21) was the only do all 21in mousse in the catalog I also now believe that Golden Tyre does make a "fatty"" sized mousse to fit their bigger sized front tires Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
robertaccio 406 Posted November 13, 2014 I would much rather be toting both an M16 and M14 anyway!!!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ADV Bum 205 Posted November 13, 2014 I use the HP4 on the front. I do love this tire. I also have the Mousse to fit it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
PastaPilot 17 Posted December 6, 2014 For anybody trying the large size Golden Tyre or other large (90/100-21) size front tire: I highly recommend acquiring and fitting the proper sized tube for the tire. A standard size (80/100, 90/90 or 3.00) front tube won't do it. I've just had my second valve stem tear out of my tube after a very short use in the tire. I can only rationalize that the smaller tube squirms around in the tire and causes the stem to slowly tear out. It was not a tire pressure, valve stem nut or bead lock issue. I ran 15 psi in it because I don't want flats (I hate tubes!) Proper tubes are essential for the size of tire used. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Did the Michelin M16 90/100-21 mousse work out for the Gold Tyre 216AA? Or has the Golden Tyre large mousse hit the streets yet? Have a GT 216AA on the way for my 500 and am considering the mousse. Of note, found this company selling all Michelin mousses for $99 with free shipping. http://www.pdi-racing.com/mx/michelin-tube-90-100-21f-bib-mousse-22513/ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
robertaccio 406 Posted March 23, 2015 my GT216AA still has a 90/90-21 cut with an added section of another mousse to squeeze it up. One of my crew just got a M16 mousse and is waiting for a GT216AA so we will see how it fits when the tire arrives. On that same note the GT216AA by all accounts works best when well pressured, like a new feeling 13psi feel mousse or at least 13psi tube, mine is breaking down a little and getting some tire roll causing me a little less confidence in the front. However this tire is really lasting well so I will most likely get away with stuffing another section of mousse into it to expand the set up and tighten it up.

robertaccio 406 Posted March 25, 2015 remember they seem to like a solid inflation or solid mousse so think 13 psi or it will roll a little, my mousse is near its end of life and the front is not quite as stable when it was fresh, due in part to tire wear but mostly to the lower pressure feel. So some go with as high as 15psi on these things at best a mousse gives you about a 13PSI feel. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bp619 104 Posted March 28, 2015 Just did 45 miles on new 216aa tire and all I can say is amazing ran 15 psi in maxxis uhd tube tire did great in all conditions from pine valley to Kernan cycle trail then went on wrangler and back couldn't be happier. My original Michelin FIM enduro use to wash out bad when braking all gone now. Like Ken said it will pull out of ruts had one scare but just point it where u wanna go and it pulls u there. Thanks for recommending this tire. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
paulmbowers 236 Posted March 29, 2015 Thinking about a Golden Tyre on the front and a Motoz Hybrid on the back of the 500. That's make me a pretty cool dude, no? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bp619 104 Posted March 29, 2015 That's actually what I'm going to run just put the golden on front and already ordered the motoz mountain hybrid rear just gonna wear on my original rear first. I think the kenda trials hybrid will do better but no release yet. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Thanks for recommending this tire. makes sense all the guys I know from the PNW say run them pressure up 13-15psi and they work best. and mousses new give you 13psi feel. mine is a little squirrely now with a worn mousse.

blakeNY9 0 Posted March 31, 2015 My second fat tire will finally be arriving tomorrow after almost 2 month wait.
