For purely road use over the summer what tyres should I use on an XT660 based outfit?
It’s currently got horribly squared off K60s on it and I’ve got a pair of Conti Trail Attacks that were on it before but with both of those the low speed handling has been a bit stressful to put it mildly.
It’s not going to be easy because it’s got a 90-90 x 21 front tyre and a 140-80 x 18 rear and I’m sorely tempted to go for a ribbed front tyre paired with the existing rear Conti that’s got plenty of tread and isn’t what I’d call an ‘aggressive’ tread pattern just to see what the ribbed tyre does for the front end shake it suffers from at low speeds.
Any suggestions from those that have actually owned outfits?
