TBR7 Street Tires?
Since i'm riding 99.9% street for the for-seeable future, has anyone heard of or thought of putting street tires on a TBR7? I'm thinking supermoto style?

I did street on my TT250
Quote:
https://www.denniskirk.com/continent...fp543503.prdf? I did 90/90-21 front, 120/90-18 rear. The rear ended up rubbing my muffler, so I had to shim the muffler out 3/4" (Thanks to this forum I found this out!). Some one said if I did 120/80-18 I wouldn't have had that issue, but that size is not available. Could go 110/90-18 with no issue I think. These made a HUGE difference in street handling. I think the 21" front is actually better for city riding like I do (commuting) as it will handle potholes better than supermoto 17". The 90/90 is still a pretty meaty tire. If you want a bit of a less street, then I would go with the Shinko 705 dual sport that everyone seems to like. Less expensive, about $150. It comes in the 120/80-18 ($67) and 90/90-21 ($55). Plus, a $10 "tire charge" and shipping ($14 for mine). https://www.denniskirk.com/shinko/70...3784&rs=643782 Tho I really like my Conti's, I may go with these next time and would definitely use them on my dream RX3 or RX4. Oh, and replace the crappy stock tubes with heavy duty tubes. Prices range from $15 to $30 each. My front tube blew out (right before I changed the tires) at the stem. Bike only had 1700 miles on it.

I had the Kenda 761's on Q for a number of years and they were more than acceptable on the street.
