Hey listers, I met a guy on Honda XL600R with Michelin t66 front and rear. Said they are the best tires he had on in the last 10 years. They stick to the road even in hard rain. His riding area is rocky and he is very satisfied with its performance. He never tried them on wet grass but supposes the would hold that too. Now, the rear comes only as 140/80 and I'm a bit worried it might be too wide cause there is 1cm (0.4inch) on each side of my rear Dunlop trailmax. Has anyone mounted the rear t66 on our KLRs? It seems to me this tire would fit, but I just wanna be sure noone has ever had problems with the rear width. Has anyone had both the siracs and the t66s on to compare and tell us which are better for 80% road and 20% off? The trailmaxes realy suck offroad: I only ride on wet grass when I feel suicidal, and believe me - I wanna live... Thanks for any advice Deks, Croatia P.S. If there has to be a name, how about KORDS (Kawasaki Org. for Riding Dual Sports) although I think the list is great even without such a name... _________________________________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free E-mail from MSN Hotmail at http://www.hotmail.com Share information about yourself, create your own public profile at http://profiles.msn.com> From: "Van" > Subject: Re: tires/nklr >I just put on a Michelin Sirac on the front and I have a Dunlop >Trailmax >on the back.
