knobbed tire for a 2000 KLR
I have a 2000 KLR. I am planning to ride some of the Trans-America Trail starting in Mississippi, We did Tennessee a few years ago. I am looking for suggestions on a good knobbed tire that will work on the road also. I am trailoring the bike to Mississippi but I will be taking the roads back to the trailer.
Thanks Steve |

Kenda K270 for me
I have a KLR 650 and my favorite is the Kenda K270. They are inexpensive and work well on dirt or street. They are also fairly quiet on the street. I ride alot of off road and they get through anything i try to do with them.

I keep telling people that Kings tires are pretty darn good...and cheap too (you ride a KLR, so you should like that).
They are very knobbly and DOT approved and last a really, really long time. I run 'em on my KTM 640 Adventure. I run the KT-963 front and rear. http://www.kingstire.com/KT-963Rear.htm You can get 'em shipped free from Motorcycle Superstore. http://www.motorcycle-superstore.com...Rear-Tire.aspx Be aware...they have very stiff sidewalls and are a bugger to mount by hand. |

Cool -- didn't know those Kings were DOT.
 However, motorcycle Superstore does not have the 5.10-17 rear needed for the KLR650, and I couldn't pick up any scent of actual stock anywhere else.

K270, I love mine. 100 bucks a set. Great on the road and dirt!
