Duel Sport 50/50 Tires?
 

Are there any legal tires that are street/off road legal. It's just With the stock tires I have on my bike (1k Miles) It's a little edgy going down dirt roads. A few times i'd hit a patch of dirt and slip and I had to rev it...I'd like some better traction.

Not sure if you are on a KLX250S or a KLX250SF

One of the big problems is tire air pressure. If you are running street level of PSI (usually the higher end of the tire recommended tire pressure) the tire will not perform well on a soft uneven surface such as off road. To much air will cause the tire to break loose sooner which will cause a lack of control.

Now to the downfall of playing with your tire pressure: If you lower the PSI to work better off road you can and will run into issues on how the bike rides on pavement.

I have run into MX riders who say they are running less than 20psi in their tires but they have rim/tire locks and they are just on dirt.

It's a KLX250s. I was just oping maybe some better friction tires. So, maybe like 80 street with 20 off road. Idk what there called but, they have more traction i suppose.

80/20 tires on a gravel road will usually be lower traction than the stock knobs, generally speaking.
80/20 tires on a ST will definitely have lower traction.
80/20 tires in mud will have no traction, period.

As stated before, air pressure should be adj down on gravel/dirt. Most ST riders run between 12-16psi, maybe a few lower. Don't run these pressures on ST without HD tubes & rimlocks.

For what it's worth I love my tires 70/30 (below). They handle great on the street and do good on fire roads/trails. But wouldn't consider them great for a lot of dirt riding, especially in mud.

I don't really care for trail/mud riding. I'm just talking every day roads that didn't get paved. Dirt roads basically.

Supermoto tires are fine for dirt roads.

My fav tire is the Dunlop 606, but since you said 50/50 then you want the Kenda K-270

+1 on these - have them on my KLX and on my son's DRZ-400. I forget whether I have the Kenda or Shinko or Golden Boy or a mix, and which are on my son's, but all have the same tread pattern, although I seem to recall reading that one (shinko?) is a slightly softer compound? Oddly, the Golden Boy is listed as a 'shinko golden boy', but on my tire(s) I only found them marked as Golden Boy SR244 - nothing about Shinko.
