What are y'all running? I want to slap an 18/21 setup on my TE that's more street friendly Would love input and pictures?
I believe it is a 90/90 front and either 120 or 4.10 rear... Ive used them on both a TE610 and 511. Put a couple thousand miles on 700s on my 610 before I sold it.
I've ran the 4.0 mt-43 pirelli and while it looked kinda goody it worked well. The skinny tire will fall into corners more. I'd run a 120 without much concern. My local shop recommended it too. I'm running a front tr8 IRC now with a shinko 700 130/80 rear for 50/50 duty. The road manners are pretty good while retaining decent off road ability.
Motoz Tractionator Enduro S/T. Well, ok, awful on the street, but they'll constantly be begging you to take them where they belong!
140 / 80 / 18, however I wouldn't worry about going down to a 130 width, I'd probably avoid going up.
I'd suggest you have a skim through this thread as there are heaps of options and only you really know what riding you want to get from the bike. http://www.cafehusky.com/threads/te630-rear-tire-replacement.20723/
Spot on advice. Also keep in mind that a 130 (or whatever size) in one brand may be wider, or more narrow, than the same size of another brand. I'm another that says don't bother w/ a 150. If you're in the camp that feels that wide looks cool keep in mind that you'll have more mass to spin (= eating up your power to the ground, among other things.)
I just ran a track day at NJMP with Pirelli MT90AT's, 21/18. Wow! They were amazing on the track. No pucker moments at all, and I think I ran the front tire out to the edge. Will try to get some pics. http://www.revzilla.com/product/pirelli-mt90at-enduro-dual-sport-rear-tires http://www.revzilla.com/product/pirelli-mt90at-enduro-dual-sport-front-tires
Yes, road course at track day/school in South Jersey. http://www.tonystrackdays.com/category/3385/nj-track-info-click-here.htm I was shocked at how stable the bike was on the course. I firmed up the suspension settings quite a bit, the track was pretty smooth, and there wasn't any drama. Shifting up and hard on the throttle at last two high-speed turns before the long final straight, I would get a slight front wiggle, especially riding over the apex area, like the motogp guys. Little more body weight over the front took care of that. Too much fun, especially passing sportbikes outta the tighter turns.
Priceless look on face of instructor at the start of day (where you follow leader to learn lines). I'm at the starting line, instructor walks up and points to my front tire. He says, "That tire looks low on pressure." I said, "I'm running it at 15psi for the track, which is 2psi down from oem recommendation." He squeezes the front tire and just shakes his head.
