fim approved tires

Right, thanks, pretty funny, those are the two tires that got me
noticing the knobs seem shorter on the tires conforming to FIM
homologation, sheesh, wonder if I spelled that right!
Oh yea, and the tire nominated as Dot dirt tire of the year by dirt
bike magazine, the Pirelli Scorpion Pro.
I'd love a set of those Excellas (nice symmetry) if they had the
knob height of a 606!
Maybe then I could slow this Hoss KLR to make that hard right when
I'm slidin down one of those loose hills toward a ravine!
