Default what tires?

what tires are the best? I spend more time in the dirt than asphalt. I guess , what I am looking for is opinions and pics of what people are using. Thanks ED

Yeah, I have the AC-10s also, they are worse on the street, but much better in the dirt (than stock rubber). But after 100 or so miles they feel better on the street than when brand new, either that or I'm getting used to them. They would be a good choice if you are more worried about dirt performance.

I just picked up the rear 110/100-18. Now I just need to save for the front. Has any one used a AC10 front? They look like they will hookup nice. I know the rear does.

I don't think the 110/100-19 will fir your KLX250, it has an 18" rim.
Yes, the front hooks up well, a true 80/20 off/on road tyre.

I've got a Dunlop D756 on the front. Only time I'm on the road is a couple miles to my track, it hooks up great in the dirt. Its not DOT but I just take it easy on the road and it holds up fine.

longevity is also important. ive found dunlop D606's to give the best balance. between dirt/road/mileage they are a win for me. i got almost 3000 miles out of my last set.

i would hate to high jack the thread, but is there anything "dirt worthy" that last longer than 606's, i seam to tear these things right up. people say 3000, 3500, but the best i can get is around 2000 before there useless, and thats a 130. i want to go back to a 110 but 120 will work.
