knobby front tire

[bear1953]

recently converted a suzuki Vstrom (adventure style bike) with a outrigger kit, the bike has a like new knobby tire on front and Im wondering if replacing to a more highway tire would help,especially with steering ??

Have you taken it up to highway speeds ….?..My experience with knobby’s is that at low speeds they will rattle you fillings.. Once at speed they will run relatively smoother.

When i used to ride ATC’s down the middle of abandoned railway tracks if you ran over the ties too slow the ride was brutal. Once you picked up some speed the ride wasn’t too bad..
