Hi Mike I found the klr rear tire one of the worst I've had the "pleasure" of breaking down. I can't remember what rear tire was on it when I bought it, but I've changed it and three Kendas. The first had a really stiff sidewall and was the worst but the Kendas weren't much better. After seeing a test of a Motion Pro Heavy Duty BeadPro FS, it looked like it should work so I bought one a while later when I saw it on sale. I've only changed one tire with it so far, the rear a Michelin Pilot Road 3 on my weeStrom it broke it down with no problems. It is a bit. In the large size, 17" I believe but there is a slightly smaller version that is perhaps more suited to carry on the bike. Greg in not so balmy Nova Scotia ------------------------------
