The front still has plenty of tread left but I cant find anywhere that sells em down here in SW France. Has anyone got any ideas for a better performing allround Tyre that I can Match up with the front Sirac still on? Ive got the feeling I'll be going through these at a ratio of 3 rears to 2 fronts or maybe even 2 rears to 1 front.

Bear in mind the Front is a 21 inch on the R.

Any advice will be aprecciated.

Thanks, Steve
I have one good suggestion for you and that is to try and get a pair of Metzler Tourance, which perform very well on the XTR, they provide decent grip in the dirt and they certainly prevail on the asphalt. So if you can find a supplier that sells them, get a pair of them
