EX street tire question

[SB_Moto]

Hello, I’m considering putting more street friendly tires on the EX stock rims (not interested in Supermoto wheels at this point). The Dunlop Trailmax Mission recommends rims that are slightly larger (front and back) than the EX stock rims. Recommended front 2.15 but stock rim is 1.6. Questions: is that difference enough to avoid this tire? Will it cause a problem? Thanks in advance.

I would think it will be ok, but perhaps you could contact a Dunlop rep or tech for more info?

The Avon Trailriders are wonderfull tyres on these bikes if you do streetriding and some gravel. Even did 2 SM sessions on it and was remarkably good.

Also the Kenda K761 is quite a capable tyre for these kind of machines. Did some touring and Adventure touring with both of the above on our Beta RR's and on both tarmac, gravel and rocks plenty of grip.

I have a Maxxis M6034 that seemed ok. I ended up ordering SM wheels though because I wanted to be able to change quickly to MX tyres/wheels without having to pull the tyre off the rim
