Here's a photograph comparing the CST, Surge I, size 80/100-21 tire, the Dunlop, D603F, size 3.00-21 tire, and the Cheng Shin, C858, size 2.75-21 tire. Spud

Spud, my experience with tall front knobbies is that it normalizes the speedometer error, if the BRP read a tad fast before it will probably be on the money now. Thats the way if was with Q, and the HSUN before it.

The weather reached a balmy 48 degrees Fahrenheit today, so I went for a 100-mile ride, and took the following photographs.
I have now ridden 200 miles on my Surge I, front tire. Today I was pleased to discover it performed quite well in soggy, muddy, and snowy terrain. The Surge I, front tire also works surprisingly well on the street. Here's a photograph of the Surge I tire, with 150 miles of wear. Here's a photograph of my Kenda, K760, rear tire with 1,400 miles of wear. I really enjoy the Kenda, K760 rear tire, but I will soon replace it with either a Dunlop D952, Maxx Cross Desert IT, or Dunlop D606 tire. I hope my BRP can get better wear from one of these other tires. Spud

As always Spud great pics.
It's funny how warm 48 feels in the middle of winter. :wink: I highly recommend the Dunlop. FWIW the KLX comes with D/S Dunlops with what looks like a perfect tread pattern. If you like I can photograph them for you and provide you with the model number. :idea:

After experimenting with Photoshop, I've decided to perform some rhinoplasty on my XR650L.
I'm definitely going to trim the bike's proboscis! Spud
