I’d heartily recommend Heidenau K60 tyres if you’re serious about winter tyres, they even make them in a winter compound which makes a difference. Used them on my CRF 250 Rally for years and they are excellent, even on long tours, Dolomites and back, 3000 miles in three weeks. Good in the wet or dry.

I've had a look about but I can't seem to find any direct fitment in a dual sport type tyre. Anyone else had any success?

park it in the winter and you won't have to change tires

Unfortunately there is no K60 as a rear tire for the Meteor.

This is the tire guide I use .    It will not work with #'s of 100 or less so ... put 101/90 instead of 100/90 and all will be fine.

Pretty neat site.... give the dia and circumference difference for a variation... but since it is mostly for cars I guess it gives an error in the end because it cannot find any tire 140/70 17 for rear tire of Meteor.... but still is pretty useful to get the calculations for the height and speed difference... Thanks...
