Does anyone here have any recommendation for reasonably priced dualsportish tires that will fit an SV650? Stock tire sizes are 120/60-17 and 160/60-17. I don't need anything too aggressive, probably 80/20 (paved/dirt). I am not opposed to changing sizes, if it will work well.
Thanks

Looks like worn Pirelli Super Corsa's will get you there.
20% dirt / gravel roads? I think I'd get normal street tires.
I used some shinkos with a mildly aggressive tread (for a street tire) on my guzzi and they worked pretty well on gravel. I think they were the ravens.

I have the Shinko 705's on my Vstrom now and am pretty impressed with the handling. Especially considering the price. At low speeds you can feel a slight vibration from the knobs.
Be sure to look at buying the radial version. A couple years back there were some issues with tread block cracking on the rear bias ply tires.
Thanks all. I think I'm going with a set of Shinko Ravens.
