Tires that cover front and rear (11 models)
Front + rear set: 11 models can cover both ends (matching sizes in bold, based on F=110/80R19 / R=150/70R18). Shop links search on the model name alone. “Narrower” means one or two steps below the OE size. “Rim width OK” means the tire maker’s published rim widths line up with the OE rim width. No badge means we could not confirm it; combinations we found to be wrong are left out entirely.
Continental’s long-standing “rides the street, rides the dirt” tire, at a 50:50 split. Its official PDF states it is OE on the KTM 690 Enduro R, the Husqvarna 701 Enduro and the Triumph TF 450-E. The big knobs bite hard in dirt and wear accordingly. Unusually for the class it goes down to 21-inch tube sizes (2.50-21 to 3.00-21). From 2026 the second-generation TKC 80² is sold alongside it, so check which one you are buying.

Bridgestone’s line is “adventure that starts in town.” The pattern is knobby, but their own recommendation is for “customers who enjoy on-road touring on adventure machines” — between the dirt-leaning AX41 and the road-leaning A41. Built around wet traction and braking. Where the sidewall is marked “USE TUBE ON TUBE TYPE RIM,” it can be fitted to a tube-type rim with a suitable tube.
