    If they were in Auck would buy on the spot though

    Most buyers are farmers who chuck on knobblies instead.

    Fronts = 90/90-19
    Rears = 110/90-17

    Ok for smaller bikes, bit skinny for most mid range adventure bikes tho.
    Still a good score for someone local who wants to split them and on-sell what they don't need

    CSA or something like that. They’re chinese crap. I run them on my DR. Too skinny (110) but I love them because I’m too tight to pay big money for tyres I shred in a couple of thousand k’s. Don’t think they’re Dot rated, but who cares.

    I've twice used Pirelli MT60 110/90-17 on the back of the KLR and they have performed pretty well. Obviously crap in mud but dryish dirt, gravel etc they do all right. Wear rate is not too bad even with a few days worth of camping gear on the back.

    No problems on sealed road either, and the price is hard to beat.
    it's not a bad thing till you throw a KLR into the mix.
    those cheap ass bitches can do anything with ductape.

    Sounds like the Baby version of the MT90 ? if so they are brilliant on road and pretty good on gravel if you run low tire pressures, but completely stink on anything soft

    I got an MT90 on the front of the TDM mis matched with a Shinko 705 rear. The Pirelli runs out of profile before the Shinko but has never let go, unlike the Shinko. No chicken strips on the front.. On wet seal the rear is relatively easily provoked, the front sticks like poo to the blanket, I practice emergency braking in the rain.. I know this to be true. MT90 on gravel is predictable & scrabbles for grip longer than I anticipate, it consistently exceeds my expectations on wet clay & gravel tracks up here, through corners & on the brakes, the Shinko does what the throttle tells it. Should really try a matching pair, i love the front.
