D606's need replaced, and debating trying the T63 instead of going back to the IRC GP1's... Thanks, - Mike

Yes. They are well priced, work well in dirt and gravel. Never tried them in mud. Buzzy on the highway. Tim

I have gone through one set of 606's and two sets of the T63's. The T63 is not a bad tire for the cost, and they last as long as a 606. When they were new they felt squirmy on pavement, but either I got used to it or they broke in and I didn't notice it anymore. To be fair to the T63 tire, both sets were mounted after a set of Avon Gripsters and Shinko 705's respectively, so a different feel was expected. I did do Deals Gap and NC 28 eight times on my last set of T63's. Rode there from Louisiana at 75 mph and stayed in Robbinsville, NC with no issues. I stayed at the Two Wheel Inn. The guy I rode up with said he knew a bunch of folks that would be there. I had know idea this was the Knoxville Sport Bike Association. A great group of people and excellent riders that know how to race on a track and ride with reckless abandon on hilly curvy highways. I bet I was the poorest and slowest guy there, but I had fun and learned a lot. Well I say no issues. I did spin out one time on NC 28 near Fontana. I was angry that the GSX's, CBR's , Ducati's and BMW ST1000's appeared to be leaving me and my KLR behind. I miscalculated which turn was next, got into a very hard left, no turning back curve. I never applied any brakes. (It really is like all the books teach, when you are into a turn that is more than you bargained for, go for it! Your brakes won't help.) I had two wheels sliding. I watched my left elbow getting closer and closer to the black top. I never let go , I kept on driving like nothing was wrong. (From the old days of enduro and motocross racing, don"t give up till you are no longer moving) I guess I scrubbed off enough speed and caught traction. It popped up really hard and really fast. I was the old "Flying W", two feet in the air and my face in the handle bars. I never gave up. On the way back down my left foot found the seat. I got back on facing the opposite way in the opposite lane, still upright. Why am I telling this? I don;t know, I guess it scared the crap out of me and I was on T63's. John T.
