This past weekend I rode up the Hampster on brand new Anakee Wilds. The traction off-road was very good, though there was a significant fly in the ointment. On one particular heavily rutted road, not deep ruts but lots of ruts crossing over each other, I found that the rear, a 150-width, had a nasty tendency to try to climb up the side of any rut it happened to fall into. The back end of the bike was dancing all over the place.
After about 450 miles, the sipes on the center blocks had already worn away, on a ride that was at least 50% dirt.
Highway/pavement performance was excellent, no slipping or loss of grip on curves. Even at interstate speeds, the tires were stable, and after I got used to the noise and slight vibrations, I really couldn't tell much difference between the Anakees and the OEM tires.
