241 is the hands down best. The 244 is the hands down best. The Pirelli MT43 is the hands down best. The IRC GP-1 is the hands down best. The stocker SUCKS!!!!

I love the 244 off road, on road not so much. Going to try the 241 next.

 

both are great quality the 244 is a beefy monster and looks bitchin but it's heavy so thats where the 241 shines it is also great looking but super light and still grips like crazy

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

 

244..

 

Trials tire all the way. Mine came with the golden boy and I hated.
My choice would be the Pirelli MT43.

 

Just to confuse things how about my rubber of choice, an IRC GP-1 Trials?

Visual clone to the Shinko 244 I believe. Some criticize more flexible side knobs of the 244 vs. the 241. I have no complaints. New York state likely has a bit more loamy soils than I see. My terrain is a mix of sand, sandy cohesive soils, mud and rock. IRC has yet to scare me leaned over on paved corners, however I feel the Duro ATV tire in the rear would be my limiting factor on asphalt.

 

I'm trying to make this decision for spring.

 

Thanks for the replies! I've decided to replace my stock front tire with the Shinko 244 4.6.

Forum member Leben posted a picture of it in the "New Tire=New Ride" thread, page 2.

 

I don't know yet. I too use the 244, and it's about at the end of it's life cycle. As Padilen say's, it was way better than stock. However, this winter I'm gonna buy a 241 and see how it works. After that I'll then have the answer for you! Either one will most likely work for you.

 

What I like may not be what you like.
I had a wore out stock when I bought my bike. It song so loud it hurt my ears. My need was a quieter tire. My riding is more dirt so after reading and asking I went with Shinko 244. But next time ?
