Will do Garry, we will be doing some exploring around here soon, Salina and I on the NX that is if thats ok, we will be going out to the caves soon and and around Bathurst Oberon area, maybe out through to Goulburn for an over night saty at a pub, or black springs. Hoping Champo and Tracy will come along

My bike came with Metz. Mc karroo’s on board. I had ALL kinds of pushing drama at the front. This thing would Washout on a toothpick rut. Just before it was time to replace the rear, i was playing with suspension a bit, not much, just a tiny bit of click here and back off spring there etc. And found the front tyre actually had more to offer than i thought.I replaced the rear with a Dun.952. I got some “serious” hook up from it, again I had to re-adjust susp. again to stop the karroo front washing. Replaced the Karroo front with Dun.952. Awesome grip compared to the stock. New rear is Now a MOTOZ Tractionator. It’s Softer than i thought it would be. Tracks up something ridiculous, in hard rocky, crumbly ground. Is a slip n slide machine on hardpack/ fine sandy stuff. And on holidays in slippery muddy stuff. This tyre has some serious side of tyre grip and gets out of a corner well. Good tyre but not going back for another. I’m considering a Mich. desert safari next..maybe, for the distances i do on bitumen. I guess its a trade off to reach the compromise of the “Best for what I do”.
menace, I used to use trials tyres on an old XL500 s. They lasted ok. for the amount of Road/dirt I was riding at the time. 65/35. I haven’t been able to find one Wide enough for the 610 rear…have been giving it some thought though. Ones I have seen have been dear too.

Have you tried a Mitas E-09, I had one on my 625, for adventure rides.
quite alot of the adventure guys like them, plenty of info on the net about them especially on http://www.advrider.com/forums/

I got mine from here

Yeah Thanks Mudrat. I’ve been thinking of their 50 – 50 tyre. It’s a 130/80/18. looks like it will fill the role I want a tyre to do. Although I’ll have to go a touch slower in the loose stuff.
