I've always thought that road tyres (the sticky supermoto style ones) would look kinda wrong on an enduro bike, although I'm considering some for my xr 250 simply because they'll be better on the road and better on corners than knobblies would be. Anyone else got road tyres on their enduro bike? Suggestions and tips appreciated

I thought about getting an Adventure and buying SM wheels and tyres.
It was pointed out to me that the whole geometry would go to buggery by replacing 21/18s with 17s.

Maxxis Gold Intermediates are the tyres you need Thumbs Up

They are brilliant - Bags of grip and loads of feedback Very Happy

Don`t last long, but the fun is worth it Cool

ive recently bought another front wheel for my ttr250 and a more road biased tyre

at the moment if got a front tyre which is nobbly with some of the nobbles cut out which is lethal on roads in the wet

the back wheel is fine, so when i get an inner tube, i will be able to switch between road wheel and off road wheel
