truth be told... with my powerstroke TW226 a front tire is extraneous... i just wheelie everywhere so a 244 is the same as a241 as a stock deathwing. ;)
YMMV, get what works for you
 
I've owned both...241 all the way and as far as I'm concerned the 244 is dangerous and shouldn't be put on the front of a motorcycle. Period
A couple months after I replaced the 244, I was in a local motorcycle shop and a guy needed a front tire for his TW. I sold it for $20 I should have cut it up with the Sawsall.
To bad Borneo's not on the forum anymore. He would tell you how dangerous the 244 is.
strange....i
put over 7000 miles on mine and it didn't ever seem to be out for me. maybe i'm the tire whisperer?
 
i had the 244 and loved it, switched to the 241, and not totally convinced yet. i rode the 244 at 18 psi on and off road and felt solid. trying the same with the 241 and just feels looser.
