Due to the width of supermoto wheels you have to run a rear tire on the front. And you won't have the luxury of airing down for traction on the trail due to the fact that there aren't rim locks available for your wheels. Stay above 15psi and you should be fine.
Kenda K270 is what I ran. 5.10-17 rear and 4.60-17 front.
What you can do with them:

I was in front of the guy with the camera for the first couple minutes of the vid. The only thing that slowed me down was that hill cause it was a mudslide at that point.
They wear like Iron and do quite well once you leave the pavement.
Now if you want better forward traction at the expense of road manners. Go with the K760 on the rear. It'll howl on the road, wear a lot faster and can be scary in the rain on the pavement. I wouldn't run a 760 rear on the front.
Depending on your choice here is where you can find them:

Now for the front. I have this sitting in the garage:
One season of riding on the front of my DRZ before I switched to real offroad wheels. A six pack of Bud light and it's yours.
