I don't like the wider tires on a ADV bike... they sit on the top
of gravel and become very skittery where the narrower tyre cuts
though easyer into the hard base where the grip is and throttle steering
is far more controled... but the XT660R will brake any tire lose if yer get to
heavy handed....
i use Shinko 700 on it... ok on lose ground / gravel & great on the road as the
side blocks are bridged to help stop flex...

my dirt/enduro bike I run tubliss in it... so pinch flats are not a issue
even at 6psi....
