Tanya got new shoes this morning. Michelin Anakee Adventures. So far so good. A bit of gravel but need to scuff them in a bit more.

So how are these new tyres at highway speeds? Any vibrations or buzzy feelings.Tanya got new shoes this morning. Michelin Anakee Adventures. So far so good. A bit of gravel but need to scuff them in a bit more.

No vibrations or buzzy feelings but I only took it up to about 70 as the highways were wet and I couldn’t find a dry parking lot to scuff them in. Put about 170 miles on them today with some wet gravel/sand so I’ll run the up to speed in the next couple of days. My battle wings had about 8650 miles with the rear just starting to get close to wear marks. So I replaced both. These are alleged to be 80/20 tires so we’ll see how the mileage goes.So how are these new tyres at highway speeds? Any vibrations or buzzy feelings.
How do they compare to the OEM tyres, my 2018 Tenere had Battlax types.
I'm running a set of Pirelli road tyres now, as I'm not an off road rider.
There OK on gravel and peerfect at high speeds on tarmac.

80/20...from my observation in the pictures of your tyres they look like 80 % off road and 20 % highway??No vibrations or buzzy feelings but I only took it up to about 70 as the highways were wet and I couldn’t find a dry parking lot to scuff them in.

pretty sure Michelin is saying 80 road/ 20 offroad. the target market is people who ride adventure bikes that will most likely rarely see anything offroad more technical than a dirt or fire road.80/20...from my observation in the pictures of your tyres they look like 80 % off road and 20 % highway??
The OEM Battlaxes were a great tyre likely 70 % road and 30% off road.
Lucky you, I've been to Houston many times, but mostly in the summer months. I flew for Duke Energy a while ago. Good Mexican food, but it's a busy area..I’m in the burbs of Houston so riding season never really ends. I’ll keep folks up to speed on the tires.

Great tires for the S10. I had a pair installed in mid-May and I have since put a bit under 3K miles on the clock so far.Tanya got new shoes this morning. Michelin Anakee Adventures. So far so good. A bit of gravel but need to scuff them in a bit more.

Just curious, is Tanya the name of your wife or the name you give to your motorcycle?Tanya got new shoes this morning. Michelin Anakee Adventures. So far so good. A bit of gravel but need to scuff them in a bit more.

The Motorcycle. Tanya was the first name that came to mind. “ She who must be obeyed” wouldn’t see the humor of naming my motorcycle after her.Just curious, is Tanya the name of your wife or the name you give to your motorcycle?
I thought your S10 was named Tanya because it is sort of a tan color.The Motorcycle. Tanya was the first name that came to mind. “ She who must be obeyed” wouldn’t see the humor of naming my motorcycle after her.

BAHAHAAAA!! Greatness....I will be using that in the future.….“ She who must be obeyed”....
The acronym is "SWMBO" for short ... In truth, it stands for "She Who Must Bend Over". The "Obey" version is used only when She is within earshot.BAHAHAAAA!! Greatness....I will be using that in the future.
