I would call it more like a street tire for fire roads....

Scroll down the page. Stock size tires are listed in the chart.Using thier model/fit calculator, it appears they do not make this tire in the standard size for the Super10.
But apparently only bias..Scroll down the page. Stock size tires are listed in the chart.
On my 4th set of tires this year, using the Tenere to do LD rides eats the tires up. My HD Ultra gets 15k on rear and 25k on front. Tenere is 6k on rear and 10-12k on front, using Dunlop Trailsmart. Tires are eating into my beer fundDunlops press release says release date for our sizes is Nov 1st. I really hate paying over $300 for a pair of tires. I guess I'm old. I remember buying tires for my FJR and keeping it under $200 for a long time. Then Michelin came out with PR3s and it bumped over $300 quickly. PR2s are still favored by many for better longevity...
I look forward to someone trying them and reporting how they ride and last. I have a set of Mitas Terra Force tires in the garage that are going on shortly. Looked interesting and I was pleased with the EO7 Dakars before they went away.
I mostly enjoyed the tread photos after the runs. More edge wear than I was expecting after a afternoon ride.<giggle> that's not a tire review, that's digital masturbation. Wear the tire out posuer, then you can review it. 50/50 means bias ply. Which means longevity. Love the video. Look at all the brake lights. Wankers. Exactly, "not hauling butt", but you boys are struggling soo much. Reviewer couldn't tell what tires were on the bike unless someone told him.
I know and ride all those roads they tested the tire on. It is local to me. You can drag a knee in some of those corners. It’s a great place to test that kind of tire. All the pavement is smooth and the forestry roads are super smooth hard pack. For the pavement it looks to be a fantastic tire. For super slow smooth and hard fire roads it looks acceptable.I mostly enjoyed the tread photos after the runs. More edge wear than I was expecting after a afternoon ride.

I still don't buy into a round tire in the dirt no matter what the skill level of the rider is. Where these were tested is a very controlled environment. All those dirt roads they were on are very well maintained and graded daily. Put that tire in some real dirt and even a pro is rolling the dice on the front end folding and spitting him off. Lake Arrowhead, Silverwood, and Big Bear forestry roads are so smooth even a street bike can putt on them. Almost every single guy that I have seen at desert rallies runs big blocks if traveling off the pavement. Even "Chevron style tires" regrettably will spit off most riders in the deep sand.It's a typical online tire review, which is basically an advertisement and useless.
I recently installed Avon Trail Riders and the tread of these is almost identical. I really like them as long as there is no mud involved. The Avon Trail Riders are a touch better than the Anakee 3 was in mud, which totally sucked, and these Dunlops are very similar to the Avons.
I get that the numbers supposedly give a way to compare tires but gave up a long time ago with the 50-50 or 70-30 or 90-10 numbers. The ratios are completely different in different places and for different riders so just use common sense. You could live full time with these tires off road in a place like the video shows, but they would be terrible for the same rider in a muddy area like we have around here for much of the year. Scotty made a PR4 road tire look natural as a muddy trail tire, but he's not the typical rider. The rider also makes a huge difference in how to regard on/off road numbers.
