They are a good on road dirt/gravel tire but as others have said worthless in mud and sand. I pulled them off my GSA in less than 2000 miles, no sideways grip in the muddy conditions…put on Anakee Wilds…(Wilds are great but loud on road) I live on rural property with dirt roads plus dirt mud trails…am curious on the raids though. Good luck be safe!
I have seen some use their foot sideways under the tire to help hold it up when installing it back onto the bike. Also saw a guy place a tie-down strap over the seat and down both sides of the wheel and under the rim at 12 O'Clock posiiton (the top). He then ratched the tie-down to lift the wheel up. No straining on his body this way and no need to rush. Takes less than a minute then. The riders I know love the Missions but they are not great for deeper mud and deeper sand. Hard pack, gravel,... and pavement they are among the best dual tires available. There are great for the type of riding I do with my ADV bike. I do my more offroad intense stuff with my KTM 330 XC TPI, 2 stroke enduro.
Thanks for your comment. In my case I planning doing more gravel and dry dirt road and pavement so I think they are gonna be perfert and I wish you lots of fun riding🍻🍻
Excellent tire! I'm on my second set! Great gravel and light offroad tire! Fire roads and shallow sand are no problem!! Superb highway performance too!
Can I suggest. Don’t work on a dirty bike, it only takes a few minutes to clean and then everything is easier and better. You can regrease, clean bearing tops, properly grease chain inside and outside etc.
@@Jacklacasse to each their own i guess.. i only know that if i have a small 2$ chinese tire repair with me and tubeless tire i can fix a flat..with these tires i can not
I hope you don't plan on riding off road with those tires..for the exact same price you could have gotten the dunlop trailmax raid or anything from motoz..sorry but the trailmax mission is the worst tire of what's available for the same price..
by off road you meant what? gravel and dirt should be alright tho and the price was very good i will try then anyway now that they are on. I will probably do more pave road and gravel. Thank you for comment
@@Jacklacasse this is a 60/40 at best or at worst 70/30😮 onroad/offroad tire, you will do more than fine on gravel and intermediate offroad stuff but not in mud or sand. I am coming off a dunlop raid set and this will be my next set or mitas e07+ dakar. You have selected a great tire.
It is a great tire. Just keep your ego in check and build good skills, and this tire will perform. It's not an enduro tire, though. I have read that due to its hard compound it may fall out in turns in cold and wet conditions.
