Dualsporting on 17s

So, I've had Perelli Scorpion ATs on my stock 21/18" setup
pretty much since I bought the bike about a year ago. They do
pretty darn good and are just starting to get that chicken strip
after 6k on them. So im about to drop about 2.5k on a 17" setup
and im thinking about keeping the enduro touch to this new
setup. I think I'm gonna try some Heidenau k73s. Anyone tried
that tire? And if not, what tire might u go with?

Turns out the Behr rims I scored on eBay were brand spanking
new, and had new rubber on them SO... gonna have to wait till I
burn them off till I try new tires.
Lookin' at the following tires:

Which one do you like? I'm still leaning towards the K73s, even
though they supposedly get only 3K in their lifespan.

The 21" front is a great one for going over many large rocks and
such. A 17" even with nice dirt tread won't do the same. There
is always a compromise.

Here's an article from Motorcyclist on the Hidenau K60; my
current favorite.

Good article. Thx for the info. Gonna take my first long trip on
the east coast here in a week or so. Gonna stay on the pavement
this time I think. However, I just may look into these tires
depending on the itch I get to go offroad in the future.

Ordered another MT90 rear last night. Went with a 150 this time.
By the time this one burns up the set will be toast and I'll try
something else. :P

When you mount those Heides eat your Wheaties prior and call for
backup muscle. Personally I would not mount them unless they
were going on tubless wheels. Having to repair a flat tube
inside a Heide on trail is a most difficult task.

Word up. Im gonna do just that, convert my tubed rims to
tubeless. Gonna use some acrylic silicone and 3m sealant tape.
That way I can just roll around with a plug kit and some co2
cartridges. That's way better than dragging spare tubes and
spoons with ya. :P
