Favorite Tires for the KX500
91kx:
I just found a couple IRC M5B's collecting dust at the local yamaha dealer.Got 'em for $79Cdn.Man those knobs are tall.I've used them before and they work very well and last a long time.
teamgreen500:
I know everyone's of the opinion that 18's are the solution to a lot of things; However, I'm down to 2-sets of wheels and they've both got 19" rears. I'm finding that there are a lot of tires avail. and that I'm only in need of an 18" for Desert "Races" only.
I'll be building an 18" rear for that purpose only (Virtually mandated by the Team-Green folks). I'm not having any "Flat-tire" issues with my 19's and these new Kendas (120/100-19) actually put more knobby "to the ground" than my 18" race set-up. And they're cheap! $50 with tax and shipping to my door! That's kinda convenient when you're traveling as much as I do! I've ordered them while on travel! ULTRA-Convenient!
Just my .02!

p.s....Ty's about got me convinced that a 20" front is the best for the Desert races... :roll:

Ride faster :lol:
I'm just messing with ya about that one, I like the 18, that sidewall is used for rim protection ;)

I may try this tire on front instead of the s-12 I was going to get in a few months after reading your review.Sound like the same type of rideing I do.Thanks!
