Greetings.
Can anyone who is running Dunlop K180 19" front and 18" rear kindly share the air pressures that you are using on the street?
Thanks!

I run a 110/80-19 in front with 30lb. and a 120/90-18 in rear with 20-25 lb. I got alittle over 1600 miles on them. front still looks good, rear is gettin alittle thin for some reason, they throw a good roost in the dirt. should get 2000 miles outta them. I dont know if i`ll replace them with the same, lookin for a good on/off tire. the 180 is the proper tire for dirt trackers, but it is a race tire built for laid down sideways action. street riding wears the center out, not the best handling for street.

Thanks for the info.
Indeed they are not the best handling tires for the street, but for the street tracker, they certainly look the part.
Thanks again.

Tracker79 check out the kenda k761 tires. Its hard to find a on off road tire that fits our wheel combinations. But I am going to try the Kenda.s . Parts unlimited has them and there not rediculasly priced.

Yeah, I`ve looked at those tires before. The sizes are close, and the price is right. They gotta be better than those race tires on the street, but they do hook good on the dirt.

your not going to hook up like a race tire but on the street with a street oriented bike it will be better, as for the dirt aspect who knows KTM is useing a simular tire and so is triumph on there scrambler. Guess one or both of us are going to find out
