Have you tried Kendas? They are inexpensive. I First tried the K761 they were ok on tarmac but slippery on gravel trails, so I switched to the K270 for better grip off road, 5.10-18 rear and 3.25-21 front. Huge difference, now trail riding is a blast, and they perform well on the tarmac. Check the price, I like them. Mike

Mefo Super Explorers are a serious tyre, I got well over 10,000 miles off a set...................... 0 punctures, 0 slides and good in the wet and dry, highly recommend these tyres

Membership - help keep us going!
Horizons Unlimited is not a big multi-national company, just two people who love motorcycle travel and have grown what started as a hobby in 1997 into a full time job (usually 8-10 hours per day and 7 days a week) and a labour of love. To keep it going and a roof over our heads, we run events all over the world with the help of volunteers; we sell inspirational and informative DVDs; we have a few selected advertisers; and we make a small amount from memberships.
You don't have to be a Member to come to an HU meeting, access the website, or ask questions on the HUBB. What you get for your membership contribution is our sincere gratitude, good karma and knowing that you're helping to keep the motorcycle travel dream alive. Contributing Members and Gold Members do get additional features on the HUBB. Here's a list of all the Member benefits on the HUBB.
