Finally wore through the Gripsters. Only took 4500 miles for the
rear... I keep the KLR for use by friends and trail riding. Probably
an 70/30 ratio road/dirt. I am looking for a more aggressive dirt
tire than the Slipsters, but one with good road manners.
thanks

I'm using the Kings Tire KT-966 right now, which is chunky enough to do adequately on dirt (it's no DOT knobbie, but better than a Slipster), but has decent road manners. It does whine a bit on pavement, but also sticks fairly well too and once scrubbed in doesn't feel like a knobbie (unlike, say, the Kenda 270's). The only disconcerting thing I've found is that they tend to track pavement grooves VERY well... other than that, they have good road manners. -E> Finally wore through the Gripsters.

some good low cost tires are the IRC GP-1 and DURO 904. The duro doesnt seem to like extended high speed driving (75+ph). my Duro seperated after a week. Others on the list have had great results with it. I must have got the tire from a bad batch. higher priced tires are Metzeler Enduro 3 Sahara, Michelin Sirac, Bridgestone Trailwing I seen Continental has a new 70/30 tire called the Conti Escape I have never tried it. my "opinion" is, you try the IRC GP-1 first> an 70/30 ratio road/dirt.

Will fit KLR in center rail for sure. Will check length of side
rails, may haul three KLR's if needed.
The MC trailer needs tires, have fenders never put them on.
