tire question

Post by Ron » Wed Sep 24, 2003 3:53 pm

For the list, I have a badly worn Pirelli MT 70 on the back of my 02 KLR 650. I have some riding season left. I don't have enough $$ left for a new tire after just buying the bike. Local dealer wants $89 for an OEM type! Anybody got something laying around with roughly 3000 miles left on it they would like to sell - - - - reasonable?

Why is it that I see a lot of people mounting there front tires on the dual purpose bikes back wards. I see enough of it that there must be a reason. kb7tgr jim A6 02gl18 WY ________________________________________________________________ The best thing to hit the Internet in years - Juno SpeedBand!

Jim, The only front tire that I know of that is commonly mounted backwards on the KLR is the IRC GP110. I belive this is done to prevent cupping, but I could be wrong. I think Jake Jakeman was the first person to intall it backwards and write about it. Check his website out for more info: http://www.sagebrushmachine.com/moab.html John Lyon --- Jim a backer wrote: Why is it that I see a lot of people mounting there front tires on the dual purpose bikes back wards.

I have a 2001 KLR 650 and do about 90% street. I Need a new rear tire and am considering the Metzeler Tourance and the Michelin Anakee; I might be overlooking better options? Recomendations / opinions ? Richard

For those who want something a bit cheaper, the Kenda 761 is a pretty good street-oriented tire, you can get a pair for about $100. Compared to the Metzeler Tourance they seem to handle about the same on the road, handle rain fairly well, are much better on gravel, but the rear doesn't wear as well as the Tourance does (but then it's half the price of a Tourance so it sort of evens out). I don't know much about Pirelli motorcycle tires, but Pirelli automobile tires don't wear well, though they're quite sticky.

It's tire time and I'm thinking about not dropping $250+ for another set of Conti TKC-80's. Great tires, but the Kenda 761 and Duro 903/904 are less than half that much. I found a lot of scoop on the Kendas but not much on the Duros. Anybody want to share some feedback on the Duros? Lamar A14
