I’ve been on here for years & owned 2017 ES for 2 years & 30k miles- I have had no trouble & not heard of any real problems. Minimal maintenance & they just keep running.
You live in the middle of a great area to do the Tenere thing. I left Waynesboro & rode all county roads through Catawba to Dublin-slept a little and took an incredible dirt road into Burke’s Garden Virginia-Back of the Dragon & meandered home. Highly recommended & perfect on a Super Ten.
Good question-I have run several sets on my Tenere & they do everything I expect & need a tire to do for a very reasonable price. I quite simply don’t need a more capable tire.
