I'm just getting ready to remove my front GPS so I thought I'd give a review.

I bought these tires for the CDT and I made it so there is that. The tires are very stable at speed in hard dirt and pavement. (but that's not why you buy this tire)

The Motoz rear tires are continuing to have cracking issues. I really liked the GPS. I ran it in the mostly off road position for 6000 miles last year 50/50 dirt and pavement. But the tire was done. (i seem to get very low miles on tires. Only 8000 on the K60 and, if I really stretch it, 3500 on a rear 705)

After only 3 months on bike there were at least 6 splits in the tire. I was very surprised as I knew I would be through this tire in a few months and thought it would not be an issue. It's too bad because I do like the wear and traction of this rear tire, but I will not buy MOTOZ tires again until MOTOZ steps up and fixes the problem or even stands behind the tire when it does split.

My good friend only had 1000 miles on his when he removed them for cracking as well.

The front GPS is not an especially good tire off road. It has lasted through the 6k miles with the GPS and now 5k miles with a Mitas e-07+. It does not have splits in it. When new, it was not as good as a Shinko 705 in the dirt and gravel. useless in mud. seems to need air once a month as well.

For my adventure through Idaho and Montana this July i will be looking for a more aggressive front tire for sure. maybe anakee wild front and another e-07+ dakar rear?

I have a set of Anakee 3's i got cheap that are going on the bike for a Bun Burner to Seattle and 2000 miles back in June. From what I have read they should give me road manners and good wear to get me about 6k miles as well.

Motoz Rallz front, Motoz Adventure rear. Solid road/offroad setup I've found.

It only took 3 posts to start in on "how many miles" a tire lasts!! All these Chevron treaded tires are great for peeling off the miles. Not so good for performance and traction.
