XT600 road legal off road tyres

Can somebody give me some advise, I would like to fit some off road tyres onto my XT600 for Green Laning in the UK but they must also be road legal. Can somebody advise a good pair - I currently looking at Metzler Karoo M/C TT 65R

Hi, you could try ED660/ED661's, they come in 2 different compounds (soft/hard) but I wouldn't like to say how long they'd last with the weight of an XT600.

Cheers Fish.

P.S. It's amazing what you can erase from the side of a tyre with some sand paper!

I run Pirelli MT21's on my XT.
Thay are road legal here in Aus and in my opinion are a brilliant tyre.
I get about 5000kms out of a rear and a bit longer out of a front, with over 95% of that distance covered on the bitumen.
Dan.
