i'm riding on a new set of str tires,
but the tires aren't on my dlx ; they're stock tires on my new tenere 700.
i'm quite impressed w/ this tire both on street and dirt.
on light duty mud puddles the str still maintains traction....as long as the throttle is applied smoothly & cautiously of course.
Ive been thinking about my next set of tires for my dlx to be some type of adv tire because i have a couple of mild 4wd dirt trail sections that I can loop into my hill country street ride. I have a fresh set of TKC 80 sitting around to use on my DLX when the time comes,
but I can easily see myself going w/ the str tires instead as i think the str has newer technology designed into the compound (silica?) which grips better and lasts longer than tires from last decades.
