I need to put new tyres on to my DR650SE soon.
I plan to use the bike mainly on dirt roads (will have to travel on tar to get to the dirt roads, but plan to travel on dirt whenever possible). I don't commute on the DR650SE and so am able to use it only for touring - hence my considering dirt-focussed tyres. I also will not be carrying a pillion, but will be carrying luggage, including a tent, sleeping bag, stretcher, etc.
I am considering using the Mitas C-02 on the rear, but not sure what to use up front.
Any advice and recommendations (tyres, front and rear combination and pressures) based on experience would be appreciated.
