Thanks for sharing!

Most welcome!

Thanks for sharing!

Thanks for taking the time!

Thanks, man!

Very true!

Try to go on road with a pair of Michelin starcross

@@-R-. yeah. There's definitely a lot of off road tires that are 100% not compatible for tarmac. Heck the most soft knobbies are downright dangerous in hard surfaces.

My pleasure!

Exactly!

I am starting after a week my way to Magadan

Good!

Thanks 👍!

Fair enough!

Forgot to mention this as well! Thanks for adding!

It is what it is! More mileage usually means less traction off-road.

They are fine on the road and light dirt roads.

That is correct!

Thanks for sharing your experience, Andrew!

Thanks for sharing your experience, Nick!

Thanks for sharing your thoughts. As you, i have a heavy bike. The Africa Twin Adventure Sports and I bought the Mitas E10. Waiting for delivery. How many kms you make with them?

@@madeiraonwheels on my 1290 SAS I got 3.5k miles out of the rear and I think the front will do a second rear so pretty good for a full knobby tyre. To be honest, my riding was 95% Road 5% off road so if you do more off road, they should last a bit longer. 👍

Good!

Whatever works for you. Also, there is big difference between knobby tires as well.

True

Use whatever tires are good for you.

@@motorcycleadventures Mr. Pavlin, A few years ago i bought the tires that you adviced when you where in Mongolia. Not sure anymore. Mitas ? They were great when going away from the tarmac. And good on the tarmac. They rumbled on the road but did not care cause i was not in a hurry. I was pleased back then with your advice and with the fact that i followed your advice. For now i will use those that came with the Norden. But before i will go on a larger trip i will buy the same ones again. The bill i have still somewhere laying around.

Whatever works for you!

Continental TKC 80 will be a good choice.

@@motorcycleadventures Thanks man, good i have allready little used TKC 80 on perfect then i dont need to change 😉 some guy told me TKC is old brand and you have to change to better ones that was the reason to search on you tube and i found your Vlog. have a nice time

Thanks for sharing!

Good!

Use whatever is good for you.

Interesting. My Tenere 700 came with 50/50 tires and I rode that on the highway and dirt with great traction. And get this, even though I've been riding street bikes for 36 years, I had never ridden a bike off road before I got my T7. Grant that that T7 is one amazing bike for off-roading and can make even a rookie feel like a pro. OK not really but it does inspire a lot of confidence. During the lifetime of the OEM tires, 95% of the time I rode them on the streets and pavement. And trust me when I say that I love riding my motorcycle in the rain. While others are afraid and tense up, it relaxes me. I rode my T7 with the original 50/50 OEM tires on freeways doing 55-70 mph with no issues what so ever. I was doing 60-65 mph in the rain around the transition overpasses of the freeways. To think that a 50/50 tire is unsafe on a wet road makes me wonder about your knowledge and experience. Specially riding in the rain and your riding style. Yeah, compare the traction of a 90/10 to a 50/50 on the road, the more road oriented tire will have more grip, but when you hit the dirt road and your 90/10 or 80/20 stars sliding around you'll wish you had more off road grip. But hey, may be you are the type that won't ride on anything other than a flat dirt fire road or well maintain dirt road. Like Forest Gump said in the movie about life being like a box of chocolates, so are unknown dirt roads. You never know what you are going to get. Also keep in mind that traction either on the pavement or off-road, and specially on wet conditions, can vary a lot from one tire to another even within it's same class. The Anakee tires are called the Panakee for a reason. Yet some people feel that the Anakee is a great tire even in the rain. I side more with what he said in the video. While traveling through Mexico and Central America one can try to stay as much as one can on the pavement and highways. But, you end up missing a lot of the country and the beauty those countries have to offer. And trust me when I say that any serious and seasoned world traveler whom has been in third world countries will never be caught riding a 90/10 or 80/20 tires. It's not about being cool or worrying about what others might think, but due to the fact that roads can vary a lot. From excellent paved roads to sandy, to loose gravel, to mud, to rocky, or anything in between. Things can change a lot in no time. You never know what is coming. Trying to ride on a bike with 90/10 or 80/20 tires in mud is like trying to ride a motorcycle of an ice ring. Good luck with that. It's hard enough on 50/50 tires. Another thing to keep in mind, is that in the vast majority of 3rd world countries the speed limits even on their highways are much lower than in most developed countries. Certainly slower than here in the US. Therefore the high grip people feel that they need at highway speeds in the US or other countries is less true in those countries. About the noise, because I am educated on how much motorcycling damages our hearing, I always wear earplugs. Trust me, earplugs not only reduces the noise levels protecting your hearing above 55 mph, where the problem starts, but it also reduces fatigue on long rides. Earplugs should be a must in everyone's gear bag. Oh and keep in mind that not all 50/50 tires are created equally, some are louder than others. In fact, some be rather quiet. The only downside that I have encountered with 50/50's over the 90/10 or 80/20's is the vibration. Some (noticed I said some) of the 50/50 tires can cause more vibration than others. OK for short to mid size rides, you may not be OK with longer rides. Again, depending on the tire. And, for the life in me, I can't understand how women can ride in the back seat of someone else's bike. I ride my own bike, thank you very much! Most women don't know this, but 59% of women killed on motorcycle accidents are killed while riding in the back seat.

Thanks for the info!

No, you don't have to do anything! Just slow a bit and ride as you should ride in wet conditions.

Any time!

Try the TET France. It starts right at the border in Schengen down south. Or TET Belgium starting near Grumelage. There should be some off tarmac part like I experienced on TET Netherland. BTW I'm happy with my 50/50 tyres on my T7 and now after 15.000 km mainly on tarmac they are still fine for a few more thousand kilometers 💙💛🏁🤛🏼

Thanks for taking the time!

Thanks for sharing, Sasha!

Absolutely!

Fair enough!

Mitas 07+
