I know this gets asked a lot but I'm gonna ask it again anyway: please recommend me some good dual-sport tyres for the SR500. Front: 3.50-19; Rear: 4.00-18.
Once the bike's back on the road, I intend to do probably 60/40 in terms of sealed/dirt roads. We're talking farm roads - dry clay, gravel, sometimes sand - but nothing properly off-road. I also want a tyre that gives plenty of life, and I guess I value that over the dirt capacity, but it'd still be nice to fit something more oriented to the dirt (of course, I'm enjoying the dirt on my Hornet 600, and if those tyres are ok then anything on an SR will feel great!).
Suggestions?
