I'd say the Tenere is far too heavy for that tyre (as Yam6 seems to have experienced), although, if used at lower speeds and mainly off-road, you might get away with it - they won't last long anyway x

Argh, picking tires is a PITA. Maybe shouldn't think so much and just pick something for trial and error.
Think I go for a Karoo on the back and a T63 at the front, could be a good combo. The Karoo/MT21 combo I had before worked great offroad but the MT21 was horrible on the solid stuff.
