Wow Dirt Devil II's are similiar to my XTR's....except they are not radials.

Is that a better tire for racing over the dirt tamers? I would have expected you to use the tamers before I would have thought you would use the DevilsII's...

I am just starting my thinking process on what tire I want to switch over to this coming summer....

I like Dirt Tamers alot but I came off the 800 Can-am and I liked how it slid around corners with the dt's but the Dirt Devil 2's hook up better on the 500 and they should still be able to slide because of the straight axle rear suspension.

The team is running GBC tires for 2008 and has signed through the 2010 season with KYMCO RACING. We have also signed with KLIM gear for three years. we are only getting stronger. As this is about what tires we will be running , im proud to say that we will soon be testing the new dirt commanders and the afterburners. I have seen all 4 of the new GBC tires and they are very impressive. I cannot wait for a camo uxv500 with dirt commanders on it.

We are lucky and blessed to be getting these top notch companies to sponsor us. 

I would also like to say how impressed I am with the Dirt Devil 2 tires.  They are always getting excellent traction and they are the most predictable tire I have ever used. Whereever you point them that is where they go. I have had them in mud, rock, snow, hard pack and everything in between and they just keep going.  They are six ply too, which means I can ride hard and not worry about getting flat tires.

Drove from the Swiss bound aback to Mainz, and did 110+ mph in the rain for a lot of of the ride and had no problems activity buried on the road. The aforementioned tires got me and three accompany about the Nordschleife in 9:04.
