My daughter rides a 2009 F650 and needs new tires. She is a 90/10 rider, going on the dirt for very short intervals. She needs something that will stick on the asphalt and do her justice when we scamper off road for a bit. She is no racer by any means but can tell when her tires don't support her on the road in terms of grip and ' feel' during corner speed. Any suggestions out there?

I like the Michelin Anakee tires on this bike and her usage.

Loved Shinko 705s on my F800GS. Super inexpensive (never paid more than $150/pr.), stick really well on tarmac, about 6000 miles per set. Only down side was they did not like deep sand or mud all that much.

Akakee 3's are great tires, best wear I have found for a 90/10 tire, predictable and good in wet.
Best for sporty handling feel and wet I like the Pirelli Scorpion trail 2's , the only problem with them is front tie wear, if ridden sporty, front will be gone before rear.
