I don't have any experience with these on a WR but when looking for tires for my DR650 everyone I knew said go with the Conti. TKC80 over the Michelin T63 and that was based on their experience with the T63 and the TKC's. I do not know this for a fact, but they indicated that they were not Michelin quality. The TKC's were awesome offroad and decent on the road. The problem was I got less then 2K miles on the rear. Hopefully some other riders can give you some first hand experience. If it was my WR250X, I would try and keep the same front and rear tire brand and model tire.
