[QUOTE="Chokey, post: 40478, member: 649"] In deep sand and soft dirt they are fantastic, as good as any sand tire I've ever used, and they have way better tread life than say a Dunlop 756. The only idiosyncrasy that I've found with them is that, because they are made from natural rubber instead of synthetic, they need to warm up before they start working. A half a lap is plenty of time to get enough heat in them for them to start gripping. The rear hooks up exceptionally well in acceleration and very good in braking, and both ends turn very well, with a very slow and predictable loss of traction when you reach the limits. The one thing I used to hate about the 756 (and the 752 before that) is how they would break traction when leaned over in turns suddenly and without warning. The rear is also directional. Mine are mounted in the "sand" direction. If you spin it around, it becomes more of an intermediate tire. All in all, excellent tires. :thumb: The tire you see on the YZ-F next to the KX is a Dunlop 755 sand tire. It works very well in acceleration and braking, but doesn't grip as well in turns and wears much faster. The 755 is however discontinued. Now keep in mind, the Tracula is the only model of MotoZ tires that I have used, so I can't attest to how well any of their other tires perform. [/QUOTE]
