[nikotin]

Hi Guys,

 

bought a 2009 klx250,love it but not happy with the tires(offroad tires).

 

I am looking for Street tires with offroad abilities,available in thailand(chiang mai)

 

Can anybody give me advice which tires are good.

 

Pirelli MT60rs any good and do i get them hear

 

?Heidenau k60?

 

Espacially on wet pavement i am very unhappy with the current situation.

 

thx in advance

papa's fav dual sport tire be:

Michelin Anakee III.

Especially for the front.

4000baht @ 21"-90/90.

Good for dirt-road pounding

& in da wet.

Good longevity, 

per YouTube reviews

Don't fergit the balancing beads.

If you look for Heidenau k60 tires, you will find that the Mitas E-07 is very similar and affordable. I found a test of something at DELETED

I put Pirelli MT90 on my KLX250, very happy with those.

And only 5500 baht for a set.

If you search in Google for "Mitas E-07 Tires Thailand" then you see the Mitas Facebook page as first or second ... they have contact details...

 

The Mitas E-07 maybe look rough, but they roll really smooth. If you ride on the tarmac you could believe you have standard road tires... And off-road they perform pretty well. In Thai "clay" mud they sometimes outperform full MX tires... (full MX/off-road tires pickup the clay between the knobbies and get even slipper)

The K60s are terrible on wet tarmac, especially the ones with the solid band which acts like a slick.  I tested some recently and while off road they are great and dry tarmac, in the wet they are scary.  I also had MT60 Corsa which are a great tire, but last as long as a chocolate fireguard.  VeeRubber actually do some decent tires although a few tires snobs will doscount them.  Mitas as mentioned and also Shinko are decent.

 

 I have 2 rear 17" Heidenau K60s with less than 2500k if anyone is interested.  Good for 11k plus.

Thx for that.I wrote the guys from MITAS THAILAND yesterday and waiting for reply.

 

Gonna update when i have the tires.

MITAS front tires out of stock.

 

Delievery next month.

[papa al]

If wet road conditions are a concern,

consider tires compounded with fine silica.

Michelin pioneered this technology and now include it even on some their 

modestly priced scooter tires.

Other manufacturers are trying it too.

papa likes riding in the rain.

Don't like falling.

...brand-X tires, not worth it.
