Street tires for a KLR 650
I have a 2009 Kawasaki KLR 650...the original Bridgestone semi knobby tires are at the point that they need replacement. For those who do not, the KLR 650 is an Adventure/Dual Sport moto and it was never intended by me to be used off road. I have chosen the Metzeler ME33/Lasertec tires for my bike. Can anyone offer any negative reason why I should rethink this decission. Appreciate you comments. Thanks, 2009klrrider, Nov 28, 2010

Look at the Pirelli Scorpions. I keep hearing they're pretty good on pavement but only capable of packed dirt.
