I read on a 250 the tires are practly gone after half a dozen to a dozen rides, is that true, how long do they last on a 250?
FruDaddy said:While the riding style and terrain will definitely affect how long a tire will last, don't forget that the compound of the tire itself will play a role. If you buy a soft terrain tire an ride a lot of hard pack, the tire won't last very long, in fact, you will probably rip half of the knobs off of it pretty quickly. Oh, and tire pressure matters too.
Research specific tires and how they relate to the terrain that you ride on, don't worry so much about bike size.
BTW, The tire (Dunlop 756 if my memory serves me) that was on the rear of my KX250 when I bought it used lasted almost a year before the knobs were worn to less than 1/4 inch. I ride almost every week, and over half of the rides on that tire were on hard tracks.
The tire was on the bike when I bought it, but it served me well. I do still have it. My son's 06 65 came with Dunlops, but I did have to change them after about 6 months due to excessive knob removal. I am pretty sure that they came off because I wasn't running enough pressure.Matt 193 said:Almost a year me and my dad have used dunlop all but there soft tire and had horrible luck his knobs would rip off and mine would round quickly I like the Michelin Starcross and my dad uses Kenda Millville or Carlsbad what you said suprises me have they make big changes to there tire or something of that nature??
