    1st gen T3- What do you guys run for a front tire?

    Went looking on DK and everything in the right size doesn't look like good turning tires. What do you all run for a regular dirt/mud front tire?
    Rides I own:
    '85 200X(old smokey)
    '81 ATC250R(Bassani pipe, Wiseco piston, Vesrah rod, and AMS offset rims)
    '84 KXT250 Red(the new money pit!)
    '96 KX125(FMF pipe, Boyesen reeds, One Industries graphic kit, etc.)
    '85 KX125(vintage racer. Technically it was a practice bike)
    '78 DT400(the lone Yamaha)

    Front max tires work well. 22x8x10. There is a better choice though. it's a Dunlop 22x9x10. I'll get the tire i.d. tomorrow.

    Like tecat-z said, a Front max 22x8x10 will work on the factory front wheel. takes a bit of work to swell it out to catch a bead, but it turns great.

    I have a front max that works great....however Tecat-z located that Dunlop and told me about it. Guess I will spend more money......tire looks bad ass!

    Yes.... The KT901 is the hot set up!!! A bit pricey, but very nice. Will fill out the wheel a bit more than the f-max.
