1972 DT2 - 80% trail/dirt roads 20% road. Looking for recommendations for knobbies front & back . Forgive me I've only had it 2 days and forgot how slick as cat crap these stock tires are lol  

Pirelli MT21 are excellent on my DT400E

Dunlop D606 have been very good to me on my DT400B

But I recently added Tusk Dual Sports to my DR650, and expect to purchase several sets for my Yamahas. They are almost a direct clone of the D606 and run about $110 for a pair f/r - They seem to last as well as the Dunlops so far. They are quite good on the street, as well as most anything else you throw at them.

Thank you

Does the DT2 still have the 19" front? 

I'm a huge fan of DOT knobbies and like the Kenda Trakmaster series because they make them in smaller sizes to fit the 175's...  I have one bike with a 19" front and am thinking of trying the Trackmaster 19" front knobby.  Size sounds a little narrow but tires can vary significantly in size and in the pictures I could find it looks bigger than the size would indicate. 

(This is so crazy that some brands have tires in a bigger size that are actually smaller than the size below it.) 

I just received my Kenda Trakmasters on Saturday that will go on the KDI bike.

Are you using a 19" or 21" front? 

21" on a DT1. 1969 frame.
Wanted Dunlop 606 ( Like my old bike )  but funds were not there,

yes it has a19" front, spec sheet says 3.25-19 but on it right now is a 2.75-19. 

yes 2.75-19 on it now, spec sheet states oem is 3.25-19

The challenge is finding a 19" front knobby...  Kenda makes one that seems a good candidate.  I hope to have one soon...  My favorite store, Rocky Mountain ATV/MC has been out of them but supposed to be back in stock in about a week.
