If I used my bike off road regularly, it would have Kenda Trakmaster II tires on it.
I want more dual sport tire for rear but am running that m16 until I can get another kenda for the back. I was not super thrilled with the stock knobby because it would get squirelly as heck on these grooved roads around here. At first scared the crap out of me until I learned to just let the bike ride it and suggest where it should go.
