With constant snow storms for the past week and a half, I've had trouble getting out for rides. Instead I've been shopping for tires... and deciphering the enigmatic nonsense that makes up their sizes.
I picked up the iconic dual sport combo - Dunlop D606 rear tire, and Pirelli MT21 front. Looking forward to putting them on.
**One thing to note that I didn't mention in the video - If you change the size of your rear tire, it's going to affect your speedometer and torque. For instance, since this D606 is a little bigger than the stock rear tire, each rotation of the axle is going to move me a little farther than it did before, which affects the speedo. Also, it's going to take a little more torque to get that bigger tire spinning. It's possible that I'll want to change the rear sprocket to something a little bigger to compensate for the change.
Below are Amazon links to the D606 and MT21 tires I'm talking about in the video. I am an Amazon affiliate, so I'll get a bit of a kickback if you use these links. They also happen to be a couple dollars cheaper here than most places I've looked:
