i need to be tired...

Post by Rev.Chuck » Thu Nov 02, 2000 2:58 pm

KORG'ers - I'm looking for some input for a rear tire. I do about 95% on road, medium distance (250 to 400 miles at a time) trips. My stocker did good for 6k miles, I would like to get more if possible. If I have to, I will change the front also, for type matching. And Can I stuff a 140/80 under there? Here are my possibilities: (the Metzeler Tourance is the strongest candidate so far...) Thanks in advance!

I would like to get a better tire for the rear also but I can't pass up the deal on the stock Dunlops from Dual Star. It ain't gonna last forever. Sort of like the tires themselves.

Hi All, Why not move south so that the consuming task of winterization isn't needed? I ride all year round on my 600! Kevin in Bama DSN_klr650@egroups.com wrote:
