Just to work and home, hitting back roads on the weekends when I can. http://www.bikebandit.com/tires-tubes/motorcycle-tires/dunlop-d404-motorcycle-tire

Coydog posted:I need to replace the rear tire on the WR250X soon, and I've been having a confusing time trying to find compatible tires and tubes for it. Tubes are a whole new issue on their own that I'm learning about. Can someone weigh in on what's going on? You don't really need HD tubes unless you're going offroad. Just buy them from revzilla or amazon or wherever. If you want to go nuts about patching tubes, get a patch kit and a pump and some tire irons.

Coydog posted:Thank you for clearing that up. So even for curb hopping and other hooliganry, standard is fine? I heard heavy duty reduces flats. I guess they don't protect against nails, so is this just for hitting rocks really hard, or jumping off of boulders, or whatever it is off roader's do? I think it's more for when you air them down to avoid pinch flats in which case definitely yes. But aired up I think there's no real difference. Anything that goes through your tire is going through your tube too. Going off curbs and such regular tubes should be fine, but you can run HD if you want, just don't run UHD as I've heard they can overheat if you go fast (70+). HD and UHD tubes are also more difficult to change if you end up doing that yourself.

Coydog posted:I appreciate that info. There is so much I do not know. I ended up going with the Pilot Road with some normal tubes. The pilot road I chose because it has long life, which I need, and seems like a good tire. And because it was recommended a page back. I recommend going off-road. It is awesome. You can do dirt just fine with street tires as long as you're careful and don't go too fast. I rode around at green mountain over Christmas on an xs400 and it was fine. Quite stupid and neither great nor fast, but doable.
