Want to replace front tire...I have an ATT on the rear end...ME880 on the front....

to go double dark side with an ATT what are you guys and gals using??

Also, is there other options that are not double dark side....

I know I will burst into flames...I have a suit for that...

I still have a pretty fresh ATT on Jade, and another in storage so won't need to go there for a long time.  Maybe never at my age.  Just replaced the back on George with a new Cobra I had on hand, returned still in the wrapping from the estate of my deceased buddy.  I am going DS on the front; just ordered a 130/90-17 Michelin Pilot Activ rear tire rated V from Rocky Mountain ATV/MC at $136.  Didn't read any reviews first; am a Michelin fan for cages/SUV's so hope it's a good choice for George.

On Jade and Deerslayer I run Batlax BT45 rears on the front in the 130/90-17 size - that width makes the steering a bit lighter.

I second the Michelin Pilot Activ. But, I use the 150/70 size.

I've been running a Michelin Commander 11 on the front for a while. get tween15 and closer to 20K out of them.
Pricey but worth the miles. 43 psi

ran a Conti-Go 130/90-17, V-rated 26k to wear bars.   If they sold the H-rated tire in the states mileage would be even better.

running Dunlop D404 same size now, I like it better than the Conti.  Its wearing better also, based on how much wear at 10k miles, should see 35k miles.

I know some hate Shinko (Stinko), but so far have had good luck even better than the front Avon Cobra on a Shinko 230 tourmaster is bias ply and well under 100 bucks too boot.
