Judging by my mailbox today, it looks like we now have two KLR lists... Interesting. Arne ================================================================= Internet service provided by telus.net http://www.telus.net/

I am getting the idea that Pirelli MT-70s are preferable for my kind of tour. If my body holds up I estimate I will probably cover about 50,000 miles just doing north and South Americas for 2-3 years. I also figure that 50,000 miles is about all I can hope for from the klr650 without major engine problems. Probably about 90% of the tour will be road miles, either paved or gravel. I want the best compromise between long lasting, decent wet traction on the highway and a little confidence on gravel or dirt. I'd rather be safe than sorry I chose tires for their longevity alone. I understand that, generally, sticky tires are soft and don't last long. Hard tires last longer but don't stick to the road as well. Do I have it straight yet?
