knobby tires

[N736RA]

For reasons I won't disclose, does anyone know of any knobby-ish, or even mildly knobby tires, that fit a shadow 750?

Go ck at chaparral motorsports.com and you can type in your tire size and see whats close, somebody might make sometheing, altho your front tire is roughly the same size as most rear knobby tires, but you can look and see what avail to get an idea.

Only seen them on a street bike in mission impossable 2, but that was just poor editing.

I'm not even gonna ask why......answer's probably scarry

...just the fact that you say "reasons i wont disclose" makes us (or atleast me) want to know just a little bit more.
I figured you could entertain us with this one, i'm curious

I not familiar with that trek, If it's a longer distance I wouldn't do it unless I was on a dual sport, In the end it won't be the tires you install
It's gonna be the lack of suspension that gets ya, Never been down a dirt/gravel road that didn't include ruts and pot holes, the potholes are easy enough to avoid, but the ruts are a little different.

Anyway, See if there are any youtube videos on that ride and look at what they're riding, Could be a good indicator.

yea i've looked into it, guys have done it on all kinds of bikes, apparently its pretty well graded. Realistically I could probably do it rocking my pirellis, but was just wondering if there was anything that would make it marginally better.

I mean this dude rode it on a '72 Moto Guzzi

Ya know, You might do a little searching on google, Now that I think of it
I've see tires that look kinda what that guy is running, Seen them on a few old school bobbers latley. They're an old school vintage style enduro tire, I know they still make them.
