Tires are one of those subjects (like oil) that get discussed, cussed and rehashed time and time again..............HoebSTer said:didn't we already talk about tires here someplace? there are shinko's E705 Radial, there are anakees, there are Kenda big blocks (which only are good for 500-1000 miles at best).
If the Battleaxe is "perfect for the rest" I suggest sticking with them. If soft sand is all there is to worry about I look forward to the tires. As I understand it the Battleaxes are a new design so many of us here waiting cannot comment on the Tenere's shoes.Hornet said:My Super Tenere has covered around 4500km - doing around 50% tarmac , 40%good gravel and 10% rough trail.The Bridgestone Battlax come up short in soft sand / trail, but perfect for the rest.

Better quit while you are ahead buddy!! >rem said:I couldn't agree more. Just REMember, it took courage to demonstrate my derangement. Or perhaps, I was deranged enough to show courage. I was gonna say something about how the saddlebags on the rear REMinded me of her, but decided to disperse the flattery out over time. O R
I just spotted this tire while doing a search for Dual Sport tires. Could be a good contender!Yamaguy55 said:Dunlop has just released their TR91 Trailmax for this use.
