As per the title really - It may sound ridiculous and vain, however I love the look of knobblies on a GS but am not *too* fussed about off road performance.
Are there any road bias tyres (80/20?) out there that look like knobblies?

Give me what you've got!
 
Yes yes, laugh it up - I get that it sounds ridiculous! I make no apologies for it :)
 
Well what about the Karoo 3? I was thinking something along the lines of that...
 
Pirelli Scorpion AT90s should do the trick....anything knobblier than this and it is a knobbly...in which case Anakee Wild

For fuck's sake, just buy the tyres that best fit the look, presence and 'ownership experience' that you think will suit you best.



* Chojin sounds like a slant anyway, so you'll be away at the laces.
 
So, to go with your bling tyres you'll be looking for a bike that *looks* like its good off road but isn't.......Hm, let's have a think about that one.
 
I know what you mean about the 'knobbly' look, as road biased tyres look a bit silly on a rufty tufty adv bike.

Avon Trailriders look the part, and are mainly road biased. Very happy with mine so far.
