    You don't get to be an old dog without learning a few tricks.

    Innova m/c tyres are a big unknown, but for < $90 a set I'd give them a try.

    Be of more interest to the Off-road ppl though; they are not adventure tyres.
    Cheers,

    The fronts don't look too bad. These ppl - and everyone else - are copying the Michelin S12. Says a lot for the stature of the S12.

    Fresh edges can be worth a lot.

    However, Shane suggested running a name brand front - don't risk the cheap copies - and trying anything on the rear, as many of the cheap and/or obscure rear tyres work quite well.

    Most FIM stamped enduro tyres are DOT stamped as well, you might get lucky with those Innova tyres...... I should really put a call thru to Torp7 and ask them. I'd be happy to run them on a lighter trailie, but nothing bigger than a 600cc, I reckon they'd squirm too much under big bike weights.
    Yep, pretty good deal if ya'll happy to fit them yourself.

    I wusn't even thinking about running them on the road.... ...so I couldn't be bothered to ask the question. Couldn't confirm/deny from the pics.

    Well, I only have 4km of seal from home seal to the nearest gravel/adv tracks up Sharlands Creek where I can scrub them in nicely.
    I've been running non-DOT tyres on the DRZ for a while now......yeah I know they're not legal, but they do everything so well in the dry. You know I don't like rain! Still, I wouldn't use them on the Katoom tho.

    So, the enduro tyres are road legal:

    $80 for a pair of NEW road legal 18/21" tyres
