f650 tires

Anyone got advice on good hybrid on/off road tires for an f650 dakar (21 inch front)?

Not looking for hardcore desert type stuff -but something that will get me through most terrain and still be okay for the smooth stuff.

many thanks

richard

I have used conti twinduros (TK81 I think) which are great at both especially if you expect reasonable amounts of unpaved or gravel.

Also hear good things about Pirelli MT21

TKC80 is what you want. Great off-road and decent onroad. Doesn't last as long as on-road tires, but much longer than MX tires. In other words a good compromise.

See http://faq.f650.com/MainIndex/Wheels.htm for more info.
