Tyre choice for adventure riding? (Mixing road and off-road)

[GPS MAN]

I am running Dunlop 606's...but, they do wear fast, fast, fast...

Of course my KLR doesn't have enough power to rip the knobs off. they just wear off on pavement

Bump the pressure of them up to 30 PSI for extended highway or gravel km's. Can almost double the life of the tyre compared to 22psi. Not a big drop in grip on gravel rds. For dirt tracks you'd want to drop back to 18-20 psi.

No but they'll wear out the front really fast with aggressie breaking with all that weight & front dive.

Can't be arsed reading 85 pges, anyone using Avon Distanzias? Expensive but awesome for motards as the make the right profiles for 17" rims.

Haw, haw....Pigs like to eat AC10's....1500km's on the Pig is pretty good.

I likey
What kind of price & are they new to the market? For your GS I take it. Let us know what they're like as I may have to replace my 07 soonish & the 09 wore a bit too quick (great tyre tho)

aye for the Gs the bill didn't come with it so will let ya's know to morrow, I'm hoping the front arrives soon as I want to run them together

the price that Racey Rider is offering is a good buy as they are a good tyre pity it's only for the smaller size

[Hey racey,how do yours compare to the mitas?

[Racey Rider]

All I can say is, Though internet reviews look on these favorably, - I have never used a Adventure tyre in my life.

Part of the process of building a business is getting your product out there, and getting feedback from those that use the items. This is partly what this offer is about.

Hopefully one day - You can tell me how it compares with the Mitas.

Thanks.

you don't get the same k's out of them (softer compound), but they hang on in the wet & on tar great on the metal

best i've got out of Eo 7's 23000, Eo 9's 9500 being gentle on them

the Heidenau 7500 but it was given a very hard time so would get more treated better

[Hey racey,how do yours compare to the mitas?

NZKTM had one on during the D.B. this year, I think he liked it, there is a comment on it buried here somewhere
