New nice round Dakar (yellow stripe) E-07+

Used normal E-07+ front cupping a bit.

Apparently increasing front tyre pressure 2 or 3 psi helps to reduce the cupping. The theory is that because some bikes are heavy and under braking the front tyre flattens out more which causes the cupping, the slight increase in pressure doesn’t seem to affect grip or handling on either my S10 or MT01 and so far no sign of the E07+ cupping (or the PR5 on the MT01)

I'm not a e07+ fan. For my Idaho Montana trip last summer I did about 2000 miles of dirt on the motoz tractionator. Front and rear were easily the best of road traction I have had. Surprised on how good it was on the highway as well. Plenty of paved Twisties with zero issues. If you need more tire then that you could try the rallz. Or just ride a dirt bike??? ;)

My new tenere came with the Dunlop trailmax. Have not done any soft or more difficult dirt yet. Gonna run out to north rim of grand canyon may 22. I'll report back
