I've tried the Kenda big blocks, the Maxxis M6024, and the Shinko Mobbers, and by far, I love the Mobbers most for on and off road behavior. The soft rubber compound, I think, has a lot to do with it. You should review a set on your channel!

Here in New Zealand in the early 80s, you could get your license at 15, and many of us young guys rode XR Hondas, (the Prolink models had just come out, and were a very popular bike. I remember there was a row of about 15/20 at my high school bike parking area, including mine😃). They, along with other Enduro bikes like IT and TT Yamahas, and PE Suzukis etc, were fully road legal. We always ran full knobbly tyres, (i'm talking full moto-cross tyres), and i can't remember it being an issue. Many roads back then, when you got off the main highways (and even many of them) were metal/gravel, and there was countless forestry logging tracks, fire breaks, beaches and bush trails for riding on, so no one ever put road tyres on their bikes.(unless it was a road bike) It did get a bit iffy later when i bought a Yamaha IT490, the brutal power band, full knobblies and a wet road made it downright dangerous unless you rode like you were on egg shells😆.

Thanks for the info. Was looking all over KZbin for this exact video.

[@jameswest3258]

I've got 2 sets off wheels for just this reason. Great video well explained 👍

[@HelmetHead]

Cheers buddy

[@AHoundOnAHonda]

They're not much use if they're off the wheels.

Knob-tastic episode with professor 'Alan' de lan knob tec.

[@HelmetHead]

Cheers dude 👍

[@brucegroom1929]

Nice video. Love a bit of green landing 😁

[@HelmetHead]

Cheers Bruce 😁👍

[@trailingarm63]

Nice film, but everywhere is as dry as dust. As you admitted, it's in the wet that you have to be careful with knobblies. Test them again in a monsoon - we could do with a laugh!

[@1Turnatatime]

I'm thinking of getting some 50/50 tires for a bit off light trails. I do ride quick though

[@adityasaha9617]

Bro 8 inch vintage scoter Piaggio vbb do you recommend this Nobi tire for high way?

[@larrylangley9128]

I tried the Bates Baja's knobblies on my Electra Glide and it was a "no go" to wiggly squiggly I think the old EG was just to heavy.😢

[@FenTour]

The monkey looks awesome with those… mega.

[@artieshell9205]

As they wear from the road after some miles, they may flatten a bit on the knob edges (??). Just a long term thought

[@chris_dowsett]

I watched the video wearing a mask, cos Scientist Alan said to. 😳

[@HelmetHead]

😂🤣👍

[@user-px7yj8qc9h]

Brother there’s no “L” at the end of knobby 😂

[@hondamonkeyboy]

Thanks for that very interesting video. Quick question, where did you get your mirror extenders for your Monkey from? Thanks in advance.

[@HelmetHead]

Here is a link to them on Amazon 😉 amzn.to/3uDY0mn

[@hondamonkeyboy]

@@HelmetHead That's great. Thanks for your exceedingly quick response.

[@prettyboy6305]

[@AhmadAlAjeel]

You cant get a 50 50 tire? So 50 percent road 50 percent offroad? I think the maxxis m6024 is dual sport than full offroad like these tires

[@caroldowsett637]

Knobbly tyres, green lane, monkey bike... perfect

[@bikerbuddy3166]

It dose look as mean as a chihuahua with rabies 😎🤟looking forward to race day 😎🤟

[@HelmetHead]

Cheers my friend 😁👍

[@brandonfields4927]

Givin ya bike some knobbers eh?

[@goldilocks913]

Look out mate, your scientific advisor missed the fact your gunga sprocket return pin is missing!

[@HelmetHead]

😂🤣

[@YASAJTV]

Knobby are safer than street tire for gravel on streets

[@kiwimon3204]

I bought my first Surron 2023 light bee road legal. With the stock knobby tyres. Any advice what to look out for when riding on roads. Will it skid or slip out? Wet weather... I will change to a different tyre later

[@HelmetHead]

Hello, I’d just advise taking it easy in the wet. I never had the back wheel go on the tyres but the ride was terrible. Well worth changing them for road or 50/50 as it’s so much better.

[@kiwimon3204]

@@HelmetHead Thank you for your reply. Do you think the shinko 241 will be a good option?
