I just bought a 606 and an MT21 buy two and get 40% off. I am going to use the 606 first for a long gravel and dirt road trip this summer (about 2500 km) I will hopefully burn off the stock 605 by the time I am ready to go. IT is about half gone at about 2800 km.
I like what I have read about the 606. We shall see.

A friend of mine has a KTM converted over to an SM and wants me to go to the track with him. I'm not too serious about it, but would definitley need some new tires. I was looking at the Avon Distanzia tire...any idea if these would fit the KLX?

My stock Tires suck for what I run,, I hate them, There really great on the pavement but not so great in the mud,, Im goin to try the TMII's I think they will do just fine for me,, even though I hit alot of rocky stuff but mostly clay mud and mud and loose dirt. so I feel it will be fine for me.. Im ording them today, Finally after talking to NB about them, I think there alright.. If I dont like them I will be trying the Michilen AC10's and then compare the two!

I just put a set of the Pirelli scorpion pro's on mine and other than feeling like your riding on the edge of a 1x6 for the first few miles there great tires, both on and off road. There like a 90/10 tire though so there plenty aggressive.

Just got a Dunlop D606R in the 120/90-18 size to replace the stock D603 rear. I will replace the front D603 shortly with a Dunlop D908F in the 90/90-21 size.
Anyone used the D908F front?

They come standard on the AUS spec CRF250X (D908F front & D606 Rear) once it's been ADR certified. You get more aggressive tyres in the spares kit.

I Finally got my Rear Shinko 700 tire today after waiting over a month and having 2 orders cancled. Installed it on my spare rim to finish up my second set of wheels, thank the lord that project is done. Well as my luck goes I got today off work but it has been lightly raining all day. F-it I'm trying these bad boys out anyway. Took a spin around the neighborhood and then to my neighbors trails for some dirt/rock/grass mix. I'm totally happy they stuck well in the dirt were a bit sketchy on the wet grass (expected that) and freaking velcro on wet pavement. Shinko 700's next to Trak Master and D606. Did I mention I can hear myself think going down the road now. Oh so nice.

Good luck finding the 6006. I wanted those but they were always backordered or I could only get the front etc.
