i am looking tires for my 350cc RE…because i am tired off gravels (the small stones)…it causes big accidents…
so plz help me …
Thanks Dude, Good Video
Sure wish that street bike tires had the depth of tread the dirt bike tires do.
Lots of great information! Thanks!
Excellent!
what it’s is size pair rim for motard modified jumper
This Video is very informative! Thank you so much.
1 question though, is it wise to combine a different streets bike tire for the front and back?
For instance, the back tire is leaning towards mileage for everyday use while the front tire focuses more on grip (softer rubber but with lots of groves for wet performance).
Will this different combination of different tires helps balance up performance during wet and dry performance?
hey if anyone can help i brought a ktm lc2 for light off road use but its on slicks what size are the knobbly tyres i need any help would be appreciated
Great education!

our road here is a Dual Sport like environment.. Mix with Uneven, with or without asphalt, unfinished construction, sometimes dusty, sometimes muddy or wet, too many cracks, and too many cracked motorist. Welcome to the hellish road ._.
I have Yamaha Mt 09 2017 and wanna get those fancy dual tyres but most of my driving is roads. But just fancying having that aggressive look to bike with Enduro look tyres. Plus I live in U.K. which is famous for its weather unpredictability. So need suggestions for best ones out there in terms of fitment, price point , weather and driving conditions. Thanx in advance
