Shinko 244 or 241 Front Tire? Your Preference?

"For a showroom display I like the 244 for actual riding it's the 241 hands down it's not even close"


This summer I went from a 203 to a 244 and I will admit the looks affected my choice over the 241. At first I hated the 244... so heavy and stiff it just bounced off everything then I lowered f & R pressures to 12 or 14 psi and that made my bike the best it has ever been off road. Next I will definitely try the 241 unless I go back to the 203 204s.
 
"Since this was my first bike (1995 when I got it) I have ridden it mostly on streets. My observation of the stock set up was cool 4 wheel drive sound on pavement. I fell on my butt in the mud and the sand made the front tire wash also. The stockers (tw31 and tw32) wear real quick on pavement. After 2 sets of knobbies I switched to tw203 and tw204 for street riding. They are considered dual sport but I suppose these would slide every where off road. They are great on the street"


I just switched to knobbies from the 203 204s and they are much better off road than you might think.
