    Have not owned a bike in a long time, back then it was a MX type bike and I replaced the tires myself. Can I do this with the TR650? Do they need to be balanced?

    thanks,

    Yes, its not to bad to do some tyres are worse than others. Yes balancing is good, just letting it spin on its own axle (when out of the bike) is all I do and its pretty close. The tyres don't last long, maybe 4-6k for rear 7.5K front.

    Do it. I use Pirelli MT 21 Rallycross matched set. Had to drop to a 130 on the rear because of availability and it works perfectly.
    Sure, the rear doesn't last long but then I ride very few asphalt roads and with these tyres I can let the knobbly wear down to 1mm and it still performs.
