Glad to see you get some real tires. The stocker are a freekin joke!!! Dont worry about people saying that they wear down fast. I have no idea what they are smoking. I have had my tires for atleast 3 seasons and they are still over 60%. They have seen many rocky trips, plenty of street time too. Locally our trail are pretty hard packed.

When I first got them they were SOOOO soft and thought I would see maybe a year at best. I could almost bend the treads in half.
Just a little 81hp trail bike.

My stocker fronts arent' bad. I like them honestly. But, since I'm getting new rears I figure I'll be hooking up better, I better get some aggressive fronts to match so my front end isn't pushing throw the turns.


Rear stockers didn't last me a full year even.

I picked up a brand new set of YFZ take-offs for $100shipped on rim and they lasted me just over a year (not bad). The hook up on them was amazing. I'd take another set of them if I could find a cheap deal like that! :thumbs:

Now I have to go burn off the original stockers. Video probably 3 weeks! :grin_nod: :grin_nod: :grin_nod:

Yea the stock YFZ tires are pretty good, but if you are running XC races you will get flats left and right. They are one light tire!!!

Stock tires burned off make great dyno/drage tires. My cell phone screen is a vid of me burning off my stock tires.

Nice!!!

I'm hoping to have the Helmet cam ready to go for the XC Race so I can get the first 40-60 mins of it! ;)

I run a set of yfz take offs but I'm only trail riding.  IMO they're a great tire and for the 150 bucks I paid on wheels for take offs I'd buy as many sets as I could find.  But I agree that a 2 ply radial won't cut it for XC.

Why are you spending that much money on a cheap tire when you could get some GNCC's or a XCR or something like that?

Sorry, should have been more specific.  I paid 150 dollars for all 4 yfz tires (front and back) on OEM wheels shipped to my door. :thumbs:

dang, heck of a deal!!!!

How hard are tires to mount by yourself?

I'll only have evenings available to go up north put the tires on the rims.
