What tyres do you run on the 17" rims to allow you to use the XTX off road???? I have always fancied the idea of having 2 sets of wheels/tyres, a road set (17") for the summer and then a semi off road set (21 and 18, or similar) to use in the winter months and or for some very gentle off road. BUT it seems that I would need to change forks too so perhaps is not a practical idea, so another compromise might be to have two sets of standard XTX wheels, one with standard road tyres (I have Pirelli Diablos) and then one with semi off road tyres. What tyres are available in 17" which are ok for some gentle off road????? Thanks.
