I had the Uly out for a spell yesterday and decided to take it down a bridle path. It was warm so the top layer of ground melted into a nice slick mud that was covering hard frozen dirt beneath. I almost dropped it twice when the front end washed out. The rear was all over the place but that's good old fashioned fun. This ride required a stand up position and a flexible grip on the bars and is where I noticed the weight of this bike. It aint my old XT 350 by a long shot. I hope I didn't buy the wrong bike for my North American adventure that I'm planning on doing this summer. That would mean I have to buy another bike and my garage is already bursting at the seams. So what is the most aggressive off road tire I can get for the 17" hoops ? | ||

Pretty sure it is the Pirelli MT 60. Not much is good on ice. My wr250f if very hard to keep up on ice, and I think slicks would work better. I actually think when you stand up the low center of gravity on the Uly makes it seem much lighter than it is. | ||

I keep seeing pictures of them BMW's with that dog gone street knobby and want a set for my Uly. | ||

You can get some Metzler off road type tires like they use on the BMW GS bikes. They are the KAROO and SAHARA tires. They may be a little narrow but they are 17 inch. Check them out. | ||

And a second thought if you know somebody that races sprint cars on dirt tracks borrow their tire grooving iron and widen the grooves & cut in some additional new groves in a new set of standard Uly tires. |
