KLE500 tyre choices
Hey everyone!
I am currently on a market for a new set of tires. I have been using K60 for the last 6000km and have been quite pleased with them, on-road I can grind foot-pegs on dry or wet. But have been disappointed by the front off-road, lost the front 2 times. Now I am looking at more knobbly tire to try riding some harder terrain than fire roads.
I am looking at:
Mitas E09, E10
TKC80 (designed for bigger bikes??)
Michelin T63 (saw it on a couple of xt660r very little info)
I cant decide what to take, I have read that a E09 on the rear and MT21 on the front is a good combo, but MT21 is slick on wet road. How about E10 for the front and E09 in the back combo?
My dealer recomended getting a set of Metzeler Enduro 3 Sahara's but they are almost the same as K60, as are E07.
Basically what I am looking for is a tyre combo that will out-preform K60 off road and have similar capabilities on road (I might be asking for too much).
Thanks for all the help!
