Currently resurecting a 74 F9B BigHorn. Still has the Dunlop Trials Universals on it. Does anyone know of a suitable replacement? Would like to retain the "look". Thanks.

This might be helpful.

Look also for Mitas ET-01. and Vee Rubber have several possibilities. Ultra low budget, but tough, versions will be available as well. The myriad of trail bikes coming out of Asia are invariably fitted with Trials type block pattern tyres from new.

Not sure of your size needed, so for fun I typed in 300-18 at http://www.motorcyclemaniacstore.com and got these GP1 TRIALS TREAD. I think we "used" to call these "Universal" tires for street and trail. But... they all say Trials on the pages now. If you search there, sometimes you can use the dot as in 3.00-18 and sometimes just the 300-18 so just in case you don't see anything, try searching a couple different ways. OR maybe just type in Trials. Very Happy

Jim
