I really like the 606 front, been running the K270 rears. Your Opinion is the 760 Trakmaster II much better than the K270 ? I know the 270 tends to get flat upon wearing (makes dirt corners fun) Dooden A15 Green Ape

The best set up I've found for off road worthiness while maintaining some semblance of road manners is the D606 up front and the Kenda K760 Trakmaster II on the rear. > > Mind you, I like to do some pretty hairy off road stuff including mud, sand, gravel, trees, rocks, etc. You may not need as much off-road traction as the above mentioned set up. Or for more off road traction, without the DOT rating, try a Michelin S12 up front with the Trakmaster out back.
