New dual sport rider Nashville

Hi all I'm new to dual sport riding and to this forum. Ordered a Hawk from APSCUSA.com yesterday. I will have it built by them as I am only 2 hours away. I will ride my hawk on the road mostly. Can anyone please recommend on road tires brand and size or an good all-terrain?

I'm only 3 hours from Nashville....
I'd advise trying the stock tires first, and get to know the bike before deciding what tires to use.

take a look at shinko 705s. if you want straight road tires, I'm not sure. so some searches on the size and see if you see any.

the 705's are great for pavement and gravel. I wouldn't plan to using them for any real offroad work though.
