Looking for thoughts/opinions on this tire combo for northeast trail riding on my 390. Some pavement duty, but very little. Couple miles here and there on backroads.

I've been using the Fatty on the front and a Kenda Ibez on the rear. The Fatty is awesome in the woods, it does have try and climb out of the ruts which takes a little getting used to. The Ibez is great tire, but life is short. I may go back to the Shinko 525.

If it’s lots of wet roots and logs...the IRC VE33 5.10x18 rear and VE35F front track better than the GT’s...and last longer.

How does the 5.10-18 compare to a 110/100-18? Is this a metric vs imperial thing?

Side by side...the 5.10 is much taller. It’s a tractor tire
