blueoval:
Thanks again for all the input.  I am going to go with the Maxxis IT and give it a shot. 

blueoval:
I have a Maxxis on my kdx200 and it works great.  That bike is not really used in the desert mainly single track, so wasn't sure how it would translate into desert riding.  Looking forward to getting them on the k5 and going for a ride.

Maxxis makes a "desert IT" as well, stiffer carcass, should be exactly what you need.
