I do front & rear....

I think the rear is better than the front...

They don't last long if used on seal...

As a dirt only tyre they are great but for

seal/dirt there are better tyres out there..

I would put another rear AC10 on but not

so sure about the front...

As yer can see my TTR dosn't get used on the road

so I will have a diffrent veiw of them to others

that do both seal/dirt...

The pics....

Never tried a rear AC10 but the fronts have always worked well for me after scrubbing off their new "skin" wink

I run an ac10 front and have been really pleased with it, I'm mostly thick mud riding and its a suitable tyre for that....go for it!

tire discussions are always interesting .there is so much choice of brands paterns and compounds .

its always a chalenge to get the ideal tire .but its always going to be a compromise on a bike like the ttr that can do it all .

its good reading other members feed back as im always on the look out for somthing new

I run a 110/100-R18 AC-10 on the rear, will not buy another tyre again. Fantastic in sand, rocks, fast stuff. Perfect match to the TTR.

I've only put a front AC-10 on for the first time a few days ago, and initial impressions are good. Only put it on because I'm so impressed by the rears. My go-to front is the Bridgestone M403.

Agree the ac 10 combo is great they find traction off road just about everywhere .I've been using them on the front for years recently went to a prelli mt21,on the back chasing a bit more life which it has prob double the life of the ac10.at the expense of a bit less grip off road

I love them. Have a 100/100 on the back and think it handles much better then the 110/100 I did have on.

Have about 1500k on the back one so far. About 60% worn. Could do with a new one

My favourite front tyre is the Comp IV but they are expensive!

Just been out for a ride on the TTR with a new AC10 on the front. I leant it over as far as I dared on the roundabout and it was absolutely fine even though it's hardly scrubbed in wink

I put AC10's on mine found them fine I must say.

Hi All. I dont like the AC10 on the front. I have run a pair for about 18months and always found deep rut riding very difficult even scary and had most of my offs in ruts.Recently put the original "yamaha"? tyre back on the front and love the handling now.I think the knobbliness of the front AC10 is too aggressive for laning. Great on the rear though.
