It's hard to imagine anyone not liking the TM-II. I went to the TM-II after the Kenda K270, and while I thought the K270 was good before I tried the TM-II, the K270 quickly rated a "so so" after I used the TM-II. Funny how your perspective changes. That's one of the reasons why I like trying lots of different stuff, tires included, because if you just settle on something that works OK, you may not ever realize what you are missing by not trying others. I still have a D606 to mount and try out once my current TM-II gets enough wear, along with a Bridgestone E660/661 front/rear. Next up might be a Teraflex and I've wanted to see what all the rave was about with the trials tire. I may be riding with a dude that has a trials tire on the rear next weekend at Brushy Mountain, NC if that works out.

Nice pics, as usual.

I bought a 150/90-18Teraflex for my adv.... and it was a **** to get on the rim. So far I luvvvvv it,... huge ***** and it is still as sticky as a tm2 on asphalt. Overall two thumbs up. The 120 or 130 size should be good for your ktm.....but probably waaaay to heavy for the klx.

Someone at TT said the 150/90 fit their EXC with no rubbing anywhere. I'm waiting to get confirmation on that. Your report echos about everything else I hear about that tire so if it will fit, I'm gonna give it a try. Supposed to run flat too - that'd be an added bonus.

yup it will run flat... but Brian your bike even with gas only weighs 290#you should only need a 120 wide tire.....I got the 150so my adv could power out of sugar sand with luggage.

Regardless

I've got 120s on it now and that's fine but the stock tire was a 140 so larger/wider tires shouldn't present a problem. I don't think the skinnier teraflex tires claim the run-flat feature that I find so attractive with the 150. At any rate, I've got at least 2.5 rear tires to wear out before then so I'm not in a big rush.

Wow didn't know a 140 was the stock size for your 450......if so get the terra ......you'll be able to do wheeles in the softest stuff lol.

So you're going to be running that tire in the scrub this January in the Scrub....while I am on a 110 with 25 hp. lol
