I'm running the supermoto compound Avon Distanzia's , unfortunately no longer available.
the 120 front is too wide, great grip on road, good on gravel roads, sand and dry singletrack. not great on wet mud or dry grass.
When I replace if I go for a strictly road tire I'd look at the Dunlop Sportmax Q3 or Michelin Pilot Power 2CT.
Not really seeing anything in a dual purpose tire with the correct compound now the Distanzia is gone.

No such tire that I have found. Thought about using an Heidenau K66 it's a scooter tire so who knows how it would handle.
I have no issues really with the 120, I just don't use it all. I do use pretty much all of the 150 rear however.

The 150 Distanzia fit's with lot's of room to spare, Will probably be OK with an O ring chain even.

For reference, I run a 150/60 rear and 120/60 front Pilot Power 2CT on my KLX with no fit or rubbing issues. I have about 5mm from the chain to the tire so it’s close, but I don’t have any rubbing after a year. Not sure if the sf (and all 2nd gen I suppose) have more room in the swing arm than 1st gens though.
