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.

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