Swap tires??? XR650L

Okay, I realize this is a little random but I figure I've got nothing to loose and it can't hurt to ask.
I currently have on my XR650L a brand new set of knobby tires and I do not like them. I ride 99% on the road and should have never purchased off road knobbys. They are Kings tire 80/100-21 front and 100/100-18 rear non dot, "motocross only"

Is there anyone out there with the opposite problem? and would possibly want to swap tires with me. They have 200 miles on them tops. I'd be happy with just about anything that's black, round, holds air, and has less knobby then what I currently have. I also don't really care the condition. They can be used so long as I can get some kind of mileage out of them.

happy to negotiate if any one is interested. Otherwise, I'll end up buying tires eventually and probably putting these up for free to any DAMN member.

I still have the set of trail wings that where stock on my bike, the front has a few thousand left on it, the rear....lets just say you can still see the tread. Depending on your version of worn you could probably get a thousand or so out of it. They where good tires on the street but truly sucked on anything that even appeared dirty. Yours for the taking, no trades needed. Just give me a little heads up as they are out in Va at my folks house.

Yeah a pair of used stockers is perfect. I'll post my MX tires up for free when finished, that way another DAMN member will benefit. I'd love to have them if it's no big deal.

Mule, Thank you very much for the offer. You & I being neighbors it's probably best to save Wingfixer the time and gas from going to VA to get his. Just let me know when is a good day and time for you and I'll come down.

Wingfixer, appreciate the offer very much.

I have seen Wingfixer Trail Wings; when he says "the rear... lets just say you can still see the tread", he is considering the first layer of cords as "tread"!

No worries, next time I am in Va I will grab them anyways, in case you need a second set at some point.
