Default Tires?????

Other then the factory rubber, what's a good set of tires to throw on??? As of this moment, I ride 80% tar, 20% gravel. No mudding, no hill climbs, etc., basically tar right now. A better set for my style right now???

Isn't there like a one thread per day per user rule.

You can get lots of info for all your questions if you use the search function, but there is certainly nothing wrong with asking.

I apologize, I'll check it out. As time passes though, everyone and their brother as different opinions. I wasn't born into money, just asking around that's all. They say live and learn, I'm doing that. Why not throw it out there with the intensions of someone saying, these are the tires you want man, plain and simple. I've lived it I've learned. Just saying. I posted different threads tonight too, no disrespect to anyone. My intensions are good, just looking for something fresh, that's all.

I looked through tons of tire options, so many opinions on what to run- for 80 street 20 dirt. Just looking for an up to date answer, something that clicks, or specifics.

I recently put on Pirelli Scorpion MT 90 A/T's and I'm very pleased with the ride and handling. They're 70/30 dirt.

THe little bit of whatever I can see, the Kenda 270 combo might do me some good. Hey, I'm open to suggestions big time. They're priced to buy and from what I can see, might be a good fit for me??!!

That is what i run on my KLR650. Great all around tire. Will do everything fairly well, except really sloppy mud. If you are doing alot of street and just hitting the dirt a bit here and there i would try those. I had one on the KLX for awhile.

I agree the Pirelli Scorpion MT 90 A/T's are the best I have used so far.
