papa al Posted October 10, 2016 Share Posted October 10, 2016 (edited) 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.

Mr.Poko Posted October 11, 2016 Share Posted October 11, 2016 (edited) 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 Edited October 11, 2016 by seedy Email address Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bramds Posted October 11, 2016 Share Posted October 11, 2016 I put Pirelli MT90 on my KLX250, very happy with those. And only 5500 baht for a set. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thxalot 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) Edited October 11, 2016 by Mr.Poko Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BBJ Posted October 12, 2016 Share Posted October 12, 2016 (edited) 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. Edited October 12, 2016 by BBJ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nikotin Posted October 14, 2016 Author Share Posted October 14, 2016 MITAS front tires out of stock. Delievery next month. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
papa al Posted October 15, 2016 Share Posted October 15, 2016 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. [& snow last week in Colorado] Don't like falling. ...brand-X tires, not worth it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
