I am learning to ride!

once you get used to riding the dirt bike on the grass and dirt… take it to an empty parking lot. and put some pads on.

dont put your feet down in turns and get used to the commitment going into, through and out of turns feet on pegs, and focusing on your body position.

Get your starts, stops, and tight turns down, then just cruise around the parking lot in 2nd & 3rd gear doing faster turns.

Remember knobbies dont like pavement, not only will they wear out fast, but they will be slick. So when you get control of it sliding out a bit here and there, a proper street tire will have much more grip. AKA if you can do it on knobbies, you can do it on a street tire = confidence.

Don’t do this. As he said knobbie tires are not meant to be ridden on the street and if you’re a new rider your ASKING to hurt yourself. Get your confidence and get comfortable shifting and putting around in the dirt and then try to find a road bike someone won’t kill you over if you drop it.
