JT2 MX tire question?

JT2 MX tire question? was created by Kbel

Hi, I'm new to the forum.... looking forward to advice from you all!  Firstly.... does anyone know if the JT2 MX had the same tires originally as the non-MX JT2?  Mine seems to have a more aggressive lugged tire on the back (although worn) and a enduro looking tire on the front.  I'm not sure which would have been correct.  Any insight would be appreciated.   

I searched for days for new MX style tires, but could only find trials tires in a 2.5x15.  Finally, i found one option on ebay for an mx looking tire.... NOS Riken 2.75x15.   It felt like winning the lottery coming across these... so i thought I'd share in case anyone else is interested (cheap also). I believe there are 4 remaining at the time of this post.  Just search in Ebay for NOS Riken 2.75-15

Cheers!

Welcome to the site Kbel

The front tire is the original. . . it was made by a tire manufacturer called Nitto ... and I believe they still exist today.
Thanks for sharing that eBay find, I'm sure someone here can use them.
