Currently running D606 front Trak master rear. I'm more than happy with off road traction. My friend has MT21's for his XL250r they don't have quite the traction in mud but are good tires although the front tire is a bit narrow (80mm wide). Cheng Chin c858 arn't to bad for the money another friend has these 4.10 rear on the front and a 5.10 rear on an Xl200r. Had a Kenda K777 front tire they wear extremely fast on pavement.

I replaced my stock rear with the Kenda K270 and so far I'm happy with it. It's probably a little better on the pavement than it is in the dirt (esp mud or sand), but any dual-purpose tire is going to be a compromise. For the price, it's worth a look.

I currently have the Kenda K270 installed for the front and rear. So far 4,200 miles on 90% pavement and still have tread to keep going on. May last for another 1,000 miles or more. Planning on switching to the Bridgestone TW301 & TW302 for better off-road grip and maybe the same road life as the K270.

these tires arent to hot in the dirt.. they also clog up quick in any kind of wet stuff.. they are definitely more road biased.
