Can someone help me decide on a rear tire for my TT250. My stock front will remain for now and I'll probably match it to the rear after it's worn out in a year or two. I am looking for something a bit better then stock off-road while maintaining the same level of on-road performance and easy on the pocket book. I have narrowed it down to these options. Also what would you consider the stock tires to be, on-road/off-road 80/20 or 70/30?

Bridgestone TW52 80/20 ($103.99)
Shinko 244 70/30 ($97.99)
Shinko 700 60/40 ($112.99)
Bridgestone TW302 50/50 ($119.99)
Kendra K257D ??/?? ($70.99)

Anyone heard anything about the K257D Klassic? Cheap and very little information about it. I think it's more of an off road then dual sport tire though, looks like it might be 20/80 or even 10/90 on/off. Probably not very suitable for pavement.

The Kendra K257D looks pretty close to what came on my Hawk. Great off road tire but wears quick on pave.

Yeah and I think too aggressive for my needs, the only thing I like about them is the price.
