CableJockey 1 Posted February 15, 2011 I have the MOTOZ Desert H/T's on my DRZ and even though they still have a ride or two left in them, I was wondering if I'm going to get hassled by the rangers at the DD this weekend. I was thinking of putting on a new 606 on the rear and my old 606 on the front. Are the rangers particular about the tire or should I just run the MOTOZ's?

KLXBEN 0 Posted February 15, 2011 I just depends on the ranger. It is a ticketable offense. Better safe than sorry. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bikeslut 1 Posted February 15, 2011 MT-43 That wasn't his question...and, I am considering removing the MT43 back (already replaced the front) for the dash Recent rain predictions may make it a non-issue, but there are lots of better sand tires So: Rangers...there will be over 100 riders;-) I sure hope they don't stop and check every bike...it'll be a worse traffic jam than Heart Attack Hill MY suggestion is to run the tires you are most comfortable with...old tires means old rubber, and there are some street sections, some at high speeds...

DigDug 0 Posted February 15, 2011 Didn't someone get a ticket last year from a state park ranger for non-DOT tires? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tntmo 910 Posted February 15, 2011 I just installed a new Maxxis Desert IT (non-DOT) on my bike, but I'm crazy like that. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

John Probably not, unless you post this on a public forum so they know exactly what to look for... Oops, too late! I am running motoz also, they are better (safer) on the street and dirt than my dot terraflex. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

bikeslut 1 Posted February 15, 2011 I admit I missed the part about a NEW 606 on the rear... a new tire always feels great, so I change my vote to: yes; new DOT tire on the rear, and whichever front you like the most, and a dremel to make sure it is DOT compliant Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JohnnyAirtime 2 Posted February 15, 2011 Probably not, unless you post this on a public forum so they know exactly what to look for... Oops, too late! ... oh no ... They might as well get out the spare ticket book for when I ride by. ... It's not affordable, or in the list-of-to-dos to make my bike 100% DOT compliant. I will obey all traffic signs, and use hand signals. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
