Thats what i would like to know. Looked at some reviews and they were the hardest tyre. Which suggests to me but i may be wrong that the wet grip would be a trade off. If they are good enough in the wet i would go for them. At the moment for what i do they may be not street enough. Understand why you guys would like them though.
That's a solid review and recommendation. I'll take a look at them.
Im not a big "going crazy offroad" guy on my S10 (I have a KTM 300 XCW for ripping that), but will do fire road and technical Jeep trail at a good clip on it. They work very well for my type of S10 offroad also. Ive really had no cons with these tires. I doubt you'll be unhappy with them, unless you're a technical single-track offroad guy.
Naw, I'm a fire road/forest road rider at best. This bike is way more capable than me off road so I just need tires that don't washout in the occasional gravel or loose dirt. Sounds like these will do the job.
One of the guys on my recent trip to Valencia fitted them to his Tiger for the trip. The rest of us were on Michelin Adventures and PR5,6s, Metzeler Tourances or Conti TA3s. The two bikes that went down in the snow in the Pyrenees were the two on TA3s
, but he was the one always at the back. And by the time we got back to Portsmouth he was planning they’re replacement. In his opinion they’re not road tyres.
Interesting. The TA3 seem to have more cut in them than the PR5/6 i would have thought they would have out performed them. The Adventures look to be good tyre.One of the guys on my recent trip to Valencia fitted them to his Tiger for the trip.

Just bad luck. I followed two other guys at the same pace, in the same tracks but went down with literally no warning. My mate behind was just a bit to close and fell trying to avoid me. The rest all stayed up, including an R1250RS on ordinary Roadsmarts.
My front is making a crazy howl around the same speed range. Its loud, like really loud but with no vibration. Only have about 750 KMs on it as was wishfully thinking it was just braking in the tire. Will try to re-balance in the springtime I guess but funny that someone else is reporting the same issue.
In the extreme cold/wet (<40) they can be slightly slippy at backroad intersections. Taking it easy is fine. Above that temp, the tires have been killer in the rain. I unexpectedly hit at least 8 inches of standing water in the dark on my way to work this morning. I was only going about 40 but still was unable to see. The tires were perfectly planted.
