Pirelli MT 90 Scorpion A/T tire was as close to the 705 that I found but twice as much and to tell you the truth I found the 705 seems to be a better tire.
The Pirelli lasted just as long, now the front tire on my 21" rim the Scorp seems to last a bit longer and doesn't cup like the 705 does.
But than the 705 is under $70.00 for the 21".
Both tires handle mud and sand like SH*T may as well have street tires the 705 seems to grip better on dry dirt and gravel than the MT90.
Now when I had the 18" rear on my 10 I ran a set of Pirelli Scorpion XCMH pure Knob heaven, this bike was like a tractor on much of any surface and some tight rocky Crawly trails (Clutch killer). but the weight of this bike lets you know how much it can take in sand and mud, full out Salamander riding. You know the point of no return can't turn back and your forced to plow ahead and hope for the best.. ???
