Looking at the sizes, do they have one that will fit the KLX?

That should cover it.

The first 1/3 of the tire wears a little quick, but then it slows down and wears pretty well. VERY tough tire with a heavy carcass. I notice a lot of them on pics of bikes across the pond on ADV.

+1 on the 606's. No issue with the back, good grip on or off. Front pushes a bit on hard pack dirt.
They do slide out from under you when hittng hydralic fluid on the road at 50mph, but I wonder if any knobbie would have handled that.
