Default Need direction to buy extra wheels

Hi Everyone, thanks for having me on here. I'm new to here and new to my (hopefully long term relationship with) 09 KLX250S (14K miles). Anyways, I need an extra set of wheels and tires. I like to have a set with dual sport tires and a set with knobby tires.

Any direction would be greatly appreciated. also, if you can link me to a chart where I can find other models that fit my bike that may help. I am watching eBay for a set but figured this place may be better first.

Thanks in advance, bill

I haven't seen any chart on tires. But don't worry, you'll get lots of responses.

My tires (in signature) are 70/30 since I mainly do street driving. I think they're fine for fire roads and other similar terrains I would most likely encounter. They're a drastic improvement in handling on the blacktop over the 95/5 stock tires.

THANKS FOR THE REPLY, is 95/5 = 95% street or 95% off road?

is 70/30 = 70% street and 30% off road, just curious since the cheap tires on this thing seem to be more street friendly, excellent in the rain though too.

I rode to work this morning in the rain for the sake of riding in the rain

The stock ones are 95% dirt but do surprisingly well on asphalt. Mine are 70% street/30% dirt.
