I just put some new shoes on the Tenere and replaced the Shinko 804/805's with the TrailMax Missions. I have to say that I really liked the Shinko's, they were fine on the road, just ok in the rain but did really well in the dirt and I thought they were exception in my nemesis, sand. I got both tires for under $200 so I was very happy with that and got 14,000 km out of them. Might have been able to squeeze another 1000 out of the back and maybe 3000 more out of the front but I am heading out on a long trip and thought it would be best to replace them.
The ride home from the dealer was eventful, it was about 35 (C) and 5 minutes later there was a torrential downpour, I actually had to pull over because I couldn't see. Then there was road construction and mud and loose gravel. Then more rain...
My extremely short impressions are that I am very impressed with these tires. They handled the rain very well as well as the dry road and the couple of twisties I did.
Time will tell when I get more mileage on them.
