Hi!
I am asking my self that question for a while now...

I mostly use Mitas tires on my Tenere. We ride a lot of difficult enduro on trails and all kind of terrain. I found Mitas tires wery cheap and quite good. But I did not use any other brand on Tenere yet, so its difficult to be objective about the quality of Mitas.

Ussually I use Mitas CO2 in rear:


And EF08 in front:


On terrain I like this set very much. I can do and go over any terrain.

I dont mind if on road / tarmac this set is not very good, because I dont need/want to ride very fast on tarmac/traffic.

But it started to bother me that this set is very soft and I have to change tires every 2000 kilometers. And if I ride them a little on tarmac (especially the front) the tires are eaten extremely fast. So when I run out of half of profile I have to change them again very soon, since I loose the best of the tires.

So the questions is not what is the best tire for on and off road,
but:

What is the best tire for off road, and is not eaten too fast on tarmac road?

I am sure you folks have some experience with this and will give me some good sugestions.
Thanks!

PS: please post pictures when naming brands and models.
