From: HardWorkingDog on 19 Nov 2009 01:15 I was ready to get a new D756, and found out they're not making them anymore--at least that's what 2 dealers told me today. Dunlop still has it listed on their website, but no local stock. Looks like the online places still have backstock... Anyway, I'm thinking of going with the replacement, now called MX51. Curious if anyone's used it yet. -- Charles '99 YZ250

CycleGear in Hayward had some fronts a few weeks ago. > > Anyway, I'm thinking of going with the replacement, now called MX51. > Curious if anyone's used it yet. That's the GeoMax, right? Eric bought one after quite a bit of comparison shopping. He mounted it up but he hasn't tried it yet. It looks like it'll work quite well. We've been running 756's forever so I'm hoping the new one is just as good. > -- > Charles > '99 YZ250 Tami-

Yep, they make the GeoMax MX31--for mud & other soft terrain replacing the 773, and the GeoMax MX51 is "intermediate" and a replacement for the 756. It sounds like they've tried to make the MX51 as much of an all-purpose tire as possible, we'll see. I never liked the 756 that much because the edges wore off so quickly, but I've come to realize that the tire still works pretty well as it wears (thanks to Baxter's prodding). I thought I'd give it another chance on this tire change. -- Charles '99 YZ250

Hadn't heard that, but it explains why I couldn't find any last week. |
