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

[Waipukbiker]

2 Dusty's on 700s... will be another set on for next year...
They are a dam good 50/50 all round rubber.. even though
the mud of the Lammermore's had no issue's with traction
or front wash outs..

Were you running a 700 on the front too Pete?

They don't look very aggressive, and not matching to the off-road grip some are surgesting ?

they don't do they.... looks can be misleading..
Go for a 704 then... simlar patten but a bit wider spaced...

The 700 is a bit more chunky than they look in the pic on bits4bikes site..

Got mine through the local Suzi dealer who Ive been dealing with for many years and they look after me when they can. Its just convenience.
"Grip for Buck" They would be very hard to beat.

yep, thats a bloody bargain deal for a 17" shame theyre not that cheep for the 18's i think ill go for a shinko 244 in 460/18 on te xl500

How would I get on using these shinko 241 18 inch for front & rear? It's for Berlina so mileage would be bugger all & not after much performance - yo don't need to go fast when parked outside a cafe.

Its amazing how the weight of the bike makes such a difference to how aggressive a tire you need to run.

Fitted 606 to RMX (125kg)and there was little difference to my Motocross bike,



but on the DR750 (180kg) it would get stuck quite a bit easier (even with the more aggressive Kenda Trackies)

A bit narrow for a fat bike
