    They have long since been discontinued by Dunlop so new ones will be very expensive if you can find them

    I have a bunch of used ones that are just that, all used and not so great. Some might be ok but why buy old tires?

    rear 20 x 11 x 10 . . p/n 41002-1550

    front 23 x 9 x 11 . . p/n 41002-1549

    unfortunately, dunlop does not even make these sizes anymore and the size is rare . . the tread was pretty flat across the top . . the maxxis rear tires have a half way similar look overall but of course they don’t say dunlop . . I think you can remove the colored lettering on the maxxis with paint stripper or lacquer thinner but they still have the mfg name in raised letters . . be sure to get 4 ply tires . . their "mx" tires are 2 ply . . the others are avail in 4 and 6 ply . . rocky mountain atv and others sell them..

    23.5 x 8 x 11 it’s a bit narrow but a half way similar tread

    this place shows they have the front and rears but I wouldn’t hold my breath.

    I have a 22x8-10 stretched on the front of my Tecate and 18x11-10 Hoosiers on the back. Check out my thread for pics.
