    Some of the guys in my local trail riding club use either Dunlop 606's or Pirelli MT21's on their 610's.

    Since you have a SM version I'd suggest the Avon Distanzia or Pirelli MT60 if you see some dirt..

    The MT60's are fine if you're riding dry hardpack or mellow dirt/gravel roads. They don't do so hot in mud and sand, but are outstanding in rocks...very sticky. I've put quite a few miles on them in the dirt and on pavement on my SM610. Air them up a little bit and they stick like glue on pavement. They are expensive and they disappear quickly, though. I wasn't too thrilled with the compromise so now I run knobbies in the dirt (Metzeler Karoo rear and Pirelli MT21 front) and my sticky Pirelli Diablos on the street.
