Does anyone know if a set of dirt devils would be any good on a 400EX?

There a big tire and usually people wouldent use them but...ive seen it done....id think they would work good if you ride snowy trails in the winter and muddy trails in the summer but if your gonna just go ride in normal damp trails the i wouldnt suggest them because they will catch too much on corners especially if you like to do powerslides....its all up to the rider but myself would not get them and you probably dont plan on doin any MX with those suckers oh there that would be just plain stupidity:rolleyes: :p

i will probably try dirt devils or maybe some spidertracs. i think the spidertracs might be a better choice, and they come in smaller sizes than the dirt devils.

Mud tires on a sport bike are nothing but trouble. They destroy your bearings , you loose alot of power , handling sucks with them.

I've been switching between a set of rear stockers and dirt devils for the last year, depending on the terrain I'm riding in. I MUCH prefer the stockers, but the Dirt Devils have their advantages, such as clearance, puncture resistance etc. They are heavy though. By the way they slide fine, with the 416 I'm sure I can slide any tire around corners!
