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. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() The Surge I, front tire also works surprisingly well on the street. ![]() ![]() 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:
