It's a strange thing the Tyre issue

I must have a tyre that feel's planted. A friend Basil is not bothered what tyre he put's on his Bike's , he just ride's around any problem's

Personally I would not have a set of Battlewing's given, and I have given a set away with only 500 miles on to a friend who love's them.

I don't mind to much about a bit of movement from the rear tyre, But I must have the front planted.

For my off road bike I will only use MT21's on the front and if I don't have a rear handy I don't mind useing any good make rear tyre { except king tyres }

On the Tenere at the moment I have a E07 on the rear and a metzeler enduro 3 sahara on the front.

This combination seem's to work very well in all weather conditions whether riding solo or with a pillion.

I also found the Tourance when fitted to the Tenere did not feel as good as they do on my Africa Twin...Odd, and the tourance on the Tenere were shot at 5000 miles, where as the tourance on the Africa twin have done 6500 mile's and only look half worn...very odd.

One of the best grippy Tyres I have used which are not as expensive as TKc and Tourance ...are the ContiEscape...
