The back tyre is good but the front not so good in muddy sections.

They are fab on the road. So much grip you will be surprised.

But and it's a big but...the first 250 miles are not nice and feel awful..so take it easy and all will be fine.

Cheers Mike! Are you running standard pressures on them?
Regards Dave

The major advantage is that you can do almost up to 16000 km with one set of these.

Good on a Ten?

I had a pair on a BMW1200GS Adventure and really liked them right from the off. I just put a pair on my Triumph Scrambler and they are not very nice and seem to tramline a lot. I need to experiment with pressures but so far have run them at the Triumph recommended pressures.

Anyway, this has made me think twice about putting them on the Ten, but if most others have found them to be good then I'll crack on. I liked them a lot on the road on the BMW and for the kind of off road I mostly do (firm, stony 4x4 tracks) they should work fine. I'm not expecting them to be a good mud tyre, but my local riding isn't muddy.

I'm watching the thread with interest...
