I do. Excellent tire in the dirt. It and an angel saved my bacon in Moab
when I got knocked off the pegs while going through a water crossing at
about 40 mph. I was laying flat on the seat as the rear end starting
swapping back and forth. Suddenly the rear end grabbed and the bike
straightened right out. Good thing too since I was headed for a rock the
size of Texas. Not once while riding the White Rim did I feel the bike get
squirrelly. As for the street, I rode on it back to L.A., and two up with
wife around Zion. Noticed a 10 mpg drop in gas mileage, a little more
vibration than the stock tires, and quite a bit noisier. Not much wear
though. I like it! Gives it a total dirt bike image.

Hello Riders!
Does/did somebody have this tire on his/her KLR-650 rear wheel? Can you,
please, comment on it? Thank you!
Cheers,

Just so happens I have that puppy on my rear wheel. Off road it is a
wonderful tire. One road, it is a bit on the twitchy side. Not sure how it
is going to wear as I only have about 300 miles on it so far.

hi nick. my experience was very similar to yours. the first few tankfuls i
definitely got lower mileage. after a couple thousand miles, i was up to
260-290 before hitting reserve. of course i drive like a wuss most of the
time, and my commute is mostly high gear at 50mph on semi-rural roads, so if
you're in stop/go traffic or pegged at 70mph, you may get less.
