Default How do kenda k760 do on the road?

I have a new set of kenda k760s sitting in my shop. I have an almost new set of tires on my bike right now that are real similar to the kenda k761. More like a street tire. I don't remember what they are off hand.

The current tires are amazing on the road and ride awesome. I've thought about just leaving them on. I only spent a 100 on the k760s and don't really mind just leaving them on the shelf. But I kinda of want to put them on at the same time.

How do the k760s do on the street? The current tires stick to the road like glue and do pretty good on gravel. But I feel they cripple the bike off road unless you are in hard pack. But now since I bought a 2014 drz400s that I just outfitted with Dunlop 606s and have set it up more for dirt the klx will probably see a limited amount of dirt use.

I'm torn. If you guys say the k760s are good on the pavement(i don't expect them to be like Street tires but I don't want them to be greasy at 55mph road riding) I'll stick them on. I do hate the lack of confidence that the current tires give me when off road.

They're passable on road, I guess. If you're just cruising along and not trying to play supermoto, they get the job done. Noisy and vibey if that matters to you. Front braking on pavement sucks.
