[QUOTE="Pterodactyl, post: 1401281, member: 76805"] No personal experience but the comments Ive read on ADVRider about the TKC70 have been mixed at best. In reality I think you could run a road tire on the rear. I ran a Avon TrailRider on the front of my GSA and a Shinko Raven on the rear on our trip last month. We didnt do a ton of off pavement riding, but we did some with no problems. If you are planning on roads like the TOW, Denali Hwy or even the Dalton to the Arctic Circle, then a road tire on the rear will do unless it gets real muddy. If it gets sloppy, then you are in trouble on an FJR even with knobbies. I know I cannot do 8,000 miles on any motorcycle rear tire on my FJR, especially on the chip seal roads up north. [/QUOTE]
