Tyre choice for adventure riding? (Mixing road and off-road)

[.chris]

Fitted it yet? What's taking so long? Need pics.

Sorry, did not realise you were waiting for pics.

Yep, fitted kinda.....

From Mitas E-07

Tread is a bit deeper than I expected, looks good to me.
More photos in the gallery link.

$182 including delivery (I think).

Yeah, that photo does make it look pretty messy (it is not quite as bad as it looks, but nearly). At least the carpet looks clean!

I just put that MT80 (in the few photos above) on the rear for the moment, the E-07 will go one when that one is toast (probably next weekend).

Mt21 on the front (which seems real vibey so far, not sure if I like it because of that).

the MT21 should settle after a couple hundred klms

Na the MT21 front is shit. Remove it and I'll take it off your hands for $40.

Edit: So the rush to get the tyre delivered was so it could sit on the shelf for a while .

Its a 2nd hand one off trademe, so already 2000km + into its life. Might be this way because it was slightly worn on one side of the knobs, and I have reversed so the wear will level out.

I would consider that deal, being that would be a tidy profit from the price I paid on trademe for it.

Yep. They're a bit vibey when you reverse them until they bed in again.
I reverse them whenever the trailing edge gets noticeable.

And after you reverse them for the 2nd time -I get them

And I get them back as racing slicks with side knobs.

heres a good buy, $30 of the normal price http://www.trademe.co.nz/Trade-Me-Mo...-325423091.htm

If only it was the 17" 130 section for that price.

[warewolf]

It was a 130 equivalent. Shame it wasn't a 140 18".
