Well ordered a new set of skins for the bike. Pirelli scorpion mx dot tire front (90/90-21) and (120/90-18) rearI ride mostly in sand trails of northern MI., soI hope these help! the stock ones were pretty bad in this loose stuff. When I go up next I'll let you know how they do.

i had that front tire. great in the sand, but a little squirrly on the street, not to bad though.

Update they didn't have the Pirelli's so I went with Kenda 777f 90/90-21 front and Kenda 778 120/90/18 rear. When Get them I'll post pics.

 

New rear tire! This is a DOT competition tire so is the front, also a DOT tire. The front is a 4ply the rear 6ply.

The new Kenda Enduro's are great on the trail but wear fast on the road, and they're cheap. I have them on my LC4 (bit bigger than the KLX ). I'll probably go back to the Michelin Dessert Racing tire (not cheap) for the LC4, its good for 4000 miles on the LC4. So, if you do a lot of dualsports, then I'd reconsider.

The Michelin AC10 rear tire works great fora DOT tire and is reasonable. I've got it on my dualsported KTM EXC.

BTW, I have been surprised at the stock tires. Perhaps its because they're new but they work great in the dry stuff. Its only in the mud where it gets squirrely. The saving grace there is the seat height on the KLX is so low I just put both feet downlike outriggers.

 

Well put the tires on haven't done that in years did it in 45 min, all let you know how they go next weekend up north!
