These tyres are great for the sand. LOL
ORIGINAL: Davebert
The stock tires are TW41 and TW42 and they are commonly referred to as "Deathwings". That said, I have almost 4000 miles on mine. and never wiped out once. So although they would suck in mud and sand, they are ok for fire roads and logging roads and lots of different trails (without mud and sand). They are great tires for on road though.

They are a great dirt bike, but the stock tires suck worse than the 603s..lots of throttle response, but they are top heavy compared to our light little KLXs. I drove my buddy's a coupe of times, on the dirt roads it was great..quite fast, but I was a little nervous on the rutty stuff as you can really feel the higher center of gravity and the bike felt a little squirrely on the front...that's where I really love the nimbleness of the klx.
The DRZ is still a really good dirt and street bike.

RE: I finally got bite
sorry didn't mean to knock them street wise, but I would rather a knobby for the dirt roads and whatever mud one may encounter...Although I find the knobbies a little sketchy on the pavement (especially a new knobby), but I have them on because I'd rather hit the dirt roads and trails and the traction they provide is worth the shortcomings they have on the street. Actually I still have my stock front 603, but am waiting for my new Kenda776 to arrive.
