Yes, but it's like my 4wd land rover. Sure I may use it day to day and put lots of highway miles on it, that a good set of off road tires aren't ideal for, but you want it to perform in pursuit of the awesome off-road stuff that you take trips specifically to do, maybe only a few times a year, even though its probably a small percentage of the overall miles. With the tenere, I'll ride it 600 miles to Arkansas to be able to ride it on a 100-200 miles off-road and off pavement, then another 600 to get back home over a 3-day weekend. Even though the majority of the miles are on tarmac, I am interested in having perform better and be fun to ride in scenic off road stuff, not the best performing for the boring highway drive to and from the fun stuff. For a vehicle, I want it to be good for for fun and exiting stuff, even though it may a be a small percentage of the overall miles instead of being the best for the boring stuff and not as good as it could be in the stuff that you would buy an adventure bike or a jeep for in the first place.

I ride ONLY tarmac and I bet 99% of all adventure bike miles are on tarmac, despite what owners like to believe.
I'll take that bet. How much?
