This is one of the type of tires I am running. Much better riding experience with these than the Block C. Pirelli ROUTE 66...also called "MT66". This is on my Plunger bikes and R69S. I have put a couple thousand miles on these and will never go back to original block pattern type.

Hi Tom-
Impressive you could fit tires that fat; did you have to spoke the rim with an extra offset to allow clearance between tire and driveshaft-side swingarm?
I've had tire/swingarm rub with some 4.10x18 tires, once they've warmed up.
Best-
George

Those are not the actual tires,just the brand and tread type/pattern. The plunger bikes have 19" and tires are skinny, the R69S has 18" 3.5 front and rear so not special offsets needed.
