two tired

 

why did the dirt bike fall over?
"because it was two tired"

looking for a set of new tires for the TTR125L
old ones are okay but this is wife bike and she gets
the extra safety factor...

thinking a dual sport tire might be handy if
I plate it and ride national parks with "the ladies"
but most of the riding will be grass/woods clayish soil

Kenda k760 ??
MT21/MT18 always seem to work
Bridgestone ED03 look more offroadish
Dunlop 606 ??

or i could just switch to DOT tires if the need
arises and go for nice mud/packed type tire

I've always liked Kenda's dual sport tires - they seem generally more
aggressive than the other brands and they're cheap.

MT21 is a bit too tame for clay-type stuff, if wet.
Great if it's dry and you're building a blue groove.
Gives it up in the grass a bit too much for my taste, as well.

I've been using a pair of pirelli DOT XCMH tires- like 'em a lot, but
the rear won't last near as long as an MT21 with pavement riding.
The 606 rear is well thought of, the 606 front seems to have some bad
habits.

For a nice light bike, kendas could indeed be the winning choice.

Put the relatively inexpensive Kenda K760 Trakmaster2 on it if you
want street legal mud and dirt control.

If street legal isn't a consideration, well, I am going to put
Bridgestone M403/M404 tires on Esteban's bike. They were cheaper (at
RockyMtnATV) than the K760 set, and will get better rock traction.
