[culcune]

I had a 2013 TMEC 200 enduro. At the time, my friend was distributing them and offered either a 21/18 setup with knobbies, or 17/17 'supermoto' style (now, only Sunright distributes them with 21/18 wheels and either DOT knobbies or more street oriented dual sport tires). I rode my bike for about 10k miles daily to work and back for 2 years and they still had the little nubs like they were new! In fact, a member bought the wheels and tires off me for his TMEC. Heck, he might still owe me for the shipping? Anyway, never took the bike off-road which is ironic since I lived in Yuma, AZ, but this was 4 wheeler country with lots of sand; beachlike sand--the kind you need paddle tires to ride on. Part of the durability of the tires was the fact that my friend spec'd them from TMEC with a high-quality brand, whose name eludes me. I wouldn't rule out 17/17 with sport tires just yet...
