Maybe these guys? http://www.tiresdirectusa.com/tires.asp?vendorcode=1 They're charging about $145 for a set. I never bought from these guys, but will consider them when I get my next set of tires ($58 for a set of Kendas!). Their prices extremely low on all of the brands that I checked. Any of you guys have good/bad experiences with tiresdirectusa? Mark B2 A2

[Jim Hyman]

Porter, I checked Mark's suggestion of TIRESDIRECTUSA & noticed that they charge $8-$15 per tire for shipping. Dennis Kirk has free shipping on orders over $100. They will meet a competitor's lower price, but WITHOUT free shipping. They have excellent service and fast delivery. Other listers have reported that M.A.W. has eratic service to go along with their lower prices. Professor A9 Federal Way, WA. [USA] +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ --- "Porter H.

I have some questions regarding tires?? I have a A 14 and have put 11,000 kilometers on it (still riding it in the winter) I now have some nice sport bike race tires running down the middle of the tire (Bald) the tire is the OEM dunlop, is this normal tread life??? no i haven't done any burnout's, am i going to be buying a set of rears once a year?? I know most of you guys/girls use dual purpose tires, does anyone have any recommendations on tires?? id like a 90 street / 10 off tire or all street, I would like to go more then a year before i have to change this tire again. Can i go to a 150/60 or 70??/ 17 will it fit??? mileage is the key factor, then price then traction. Do i need a radial or bias ply?? what do i have now?? its dark i cant see outside. im sending along a pic, dont ask where i got it, i dont remember, if it is someone's im sorry. This bike is more towards what im getting at, (yes I know my big greenie is seeing red) but oh well. If anyone can point me more towards this type of tire, id be much appreciated Talon (riding in the ice and snow) yes im crazy A 14 (wants to be a motard)

'fraid so Talon. 11k km is 6,800 miles which is about what I made out of my first two sets of OEM dunlop rears. It was about the same for my next 3 sets of Bridgestone Trialwings. Im now on Pirelli MT90's. Paid about 20pct more.

I just replaced my rear OEM tire with a Metezler Enduro 4. I ride 90% street, 10% dirt. I wanted the Metezler Tourance, but could not find one. The Enduro 4 is a steel radial and is expected to give me 10,000 or more miles (the stocker gave me 5,000 miles). I would stay with the stock sizes. I got a flat once and before I could stop, the tire wore through the chain guard, I think things are close enough now without putting a wider tire on... I am going to replace the front tire with the Metezler Enduro 4 as soon as I get some $ together. == Rev.

What is the best tire size for the KLR 650? I have a 510x17 and it needs to be replaced soon. I see 510x17, 130/80/17 and 140/80/17 and even a 120/90/17. What is correct. The 510 seems too wide. Tom Baumen

[Fred Hink]

The 5.10 is the tire width in inches. The 130 is mm. Both will work on the KLR as they are relatively the same width. Therefore the 120 is a size smaller and the 140 is a size larger. Fred www.arrowheadmotorsports.com

I'm nearly ready to buy my first replacement set of tires for my KLR. I'm looking for 50/50 street/dirt or maybe a little more dirt bias. Among those I'm considering are Avon Gripsters, Pirelli MT70's, Maxxis M-6006's, and Kenda 270's. Any thoughts? And is there any reason not to get Moose Heavy Duty Tubes? Thanks.
