Lucky the rule was not in place when I won my 2 A grade national
enduro tites.. Pirelli Pentacross were my tyre of choice back then..
Now it is Golden Tyre 333 or 316 front and 230 rear..
a very good DOT rated rear tyre is the Michelin AC10 rear
but AC10 front is crap..

Wow, that thing looked like a monster with the 2 of you standing next to it, and it definitely had plenty of knobs on it. Kinda reminds me of my old XT 500. I raced hare scrambles in my younger years and that's where I learned a narrow rear tire will hold a better line over rough and muddy terrain.
