Hi guys, I'm getting a used '04 TW from a friend here in a few days and it will need new tires. I will use it mainly for commuting to work which doesn't require driving across the Baja or fording rivers.
What would be a good front and rear tire that's not insanely expensive and won't pass out on the first dirt road it hits? From all of the threads I've read about tires on here, the Kenda K270 gets good reviews for the front, but I'm not sure if it's too aggressive for the street.
Also, I like to do most things myself, (with your guys's help of course!) can I change the tires myself with some tire irons? And do they need to be professionally balanced? Thanks so much for any advice!
