Tyres, tires, rubber...

Its time to start thinking about a new set of tyres to my Ten.

Have used Anakee 2 and 3 which both were very good both when it came to how long they lasted and grip and performance. However of course - they werent very good on gravel and offroad.

Now I am running Heidenau K60 Scout and they have so far done 12-13 k km and will last many km more. They have been really great so far. However they are noisy and they are heavy, which is something one notices quite well.

Its maybe a little luxury problem as both above mentioned tyres have been great - but I am thinking about something inbetween when it comes to on/offroad ability.

Has anyone tried the Heidenau 76 on the Tenere? It seems like a option for me.....
Any other suggestiones?

I am still overlanding with quite a loaded bike....and the most important about new tyres for me is

1. How long they last.
2. Performance both on and offroad, but 80-90 % onroad.

Still in Thailand but heading for Malaysia and further in a month or two....
