    If you have 18" rear and 21" front de facto enduro wheels I can recommend you damn good tires. I wont bother looking other tires if I can get those for low prize.

    Hya!

    I'm using Heidenau K66 tyres. Bought the QM200GY-B(A) last autumn and the tyres that came with it were abysmal in rainy and cold conditions - I had my tail goin around all the place with 2 degrees celsius and in rain.
    Maybe I'm just not very bright, riding a bike near winter in the north of Europe.
    But the Heidenaus are lovely, much better grip especially in wetter conditions. They did cost around 200 EUR though together.

    I have 17'' front and rear rims if I am not mistaken.

    The very best of luck finding good tyres!

    I am also looking for tire suggestions for my Qlink XF200. Both front and rear wheels measure 17", I want something that would be good for 50/50ish street/dirt. Am I going to have to upgrade the front wheel to 21" to make this worthwhile? Any suggestions are appreciated.

    With a wider back tire than 130 you have to adjust the plastic chain cover I suppose. I have front 110/70-17 and back 130/70-17 and had to adjust it a little.
    And you could always order the tires from Germany. As I did, via a local dealer.

    Although I did the tire business half a year ago and I don't remember what I learned about other makers tires, maybe there's something good among their selection.
    Any other tire ideas from anyone?

    Still, I'm happy with my Heidenaus :)

    I would upgrade to 21" front definetly if I would have 50/50 street/dirt. Now I have maybe 95/5 street/dirt and I don't have any plans to downgrade to 17" front. 21" front is great everywhere in an enduro spirited motorcycle.

    Hmm, maybe I shall try it aswell, the 21 front I mean :)
    But tell me, what tires are you using, moilami.
    Although for me it is 99% paved roads, but then again I have been planning to undertake some sort of a outback trip with my QM.

    I have Armour 3.00-21 4PR front and 4.10-18 59P rear. In the picture you can get some idea how they look.



    I did not find them for sale in internet. Some similar looking I found which were at least branded with a different name. Those "Armours" I have are excellent tires. In both dry or wet tarmac I haven't had any slips. The same goes on both wet and dry gravel road. Off-road they have an excellent grip except in soft sand, in where the front tire begins to slide when cornering. In my opinion they are a very good compromise for off-road and tarmac. In tarmac they don't begin to do MX tire sounds and vibrations and have a great grip while working very well off-road too.

    I have used bad cheap tires, "Armours" I have now are totally different.
