So it's almost time for new tires and my head is spinning. My riding so far has been, sadly, all street focused because of my urban location. So I'm thinking of getting a more road biased tire for round 2.
Option 1: New set of road biased tires
I am liking the Pirelli MT90's so far, reviews read that they seem to do really well on the street but will retain some light offroading abilitites.
I also stumbled upon the Conti Trail Attack 2's which allegedly, according to the gobal conti website, are offered in 140/80-18.
There is also the Bridgestone Battle axe option, but then I lose all offroading options
Then there is option 2:
Buy a set of Strada wheels/have some aftermarket ones made/get some GS6650 wheels to work. Put some sweet agressive road rubber or 90/10 DS tires on those and some TKC80's(or similar) on the stock wheels and switch out wheelsets when necessary.
Then there is option 3:
Put some road biased tires from option 1 on the stock wheels for now and then have a aftermarket set of wheels laced up/purchase a second set of Terra wheels and put TKC80's or simmilar on the aftermarket set and switch wheelsets when necessary.
Also does anyone have any experience with the Conti Trail Attack 2's? Would the Terra be too lightweight of a bike to handle getting those tires up to temperature? Are they too beefy of a tire for the Terra?
Anyone running MT90's?
Has anyone tried mounting up GS650 wheels? Would it be a plug and play? I've read the sprocket works, but I doubt that indicative of anything and I'm worried about chain line and all the other variables.
Anyone on here have 2 wheelsets for their TR? If so, who put together you second set?
Talk to me guys.....I'm confuzzled and I'm selling my baby KLR so I have some mod money to play with. Tell me what YOU would do....
