Metzeler Tourance

[KTM AL]

Hello Chaps
I'm new on here and about to get my first Super Tenere . Apart form a few minor jobs it will need a new pair of tyres as its still fitted with the worn original 2013. I like the old Metzeler Tourance tyres on my 1150GS and was going to get a pair for the Tenere. Or do you know better? I promise I wont ask about what oil

Tourance are the only tyres I’ve used on the Super Tenere, for the 7 years and 49k miles I’ve had it. The base Tourance are absolutely fine, however I prefer the Next version. I don’t ride off rode, but they’re good in all road conditions, from mountain passes, to nadgery backroads, wet or dry.

My wheels are currently in the shop atm having a set fitted.

I'm using Tourance Next on my Gen2 - very happy with them.

Metzeler have now introduced a Tourance Next 2 tyre, with a change in the tread pattern.

I fitted original Tourances on mine after a year or so on ContiTrail Attack3s. I have to say they’re pretty much as good, grip well wet and dry. I doubt they’re going to last as long as the Contis, and there is more noise from them, but the cost saving makes both acceptable. I certainly rate them better than the OE Bridgestones mine came with. A mate is donating me a part worn rear which I may or may not use when my current one wears out, although I did buy a new pair of Contis from Blackcircles a few weeks back when they had a £20 off deal on. Paid £235 for them.

Thank you for your feed back. It looks like I'll be getting a pair of the old style, the new ones look a bit more road orientated .

The only downside of the Tourance is that they’re single compound, so they square off more quickly than modern dual or multi compound tyres.

My Tenere wore out a set of Metzler Tourance in 6,000 miles, I won’t be buying anymore.
Here are some pictures of my current set of Dunlop TrailMax Mission tires with 10,400 miles after a trip to Prudehoe Bay Alaska. Right now I believe Dunlop TrailMax Mission is about the best all around tire choice for the Super Tenere.

The tourance next are dual compound tires. I have a set of next 2 and you can actually see the two compounds
Have good luck with these tires but with that said I haven't tried anything else on the S10

Yes, the Tourance Next / Next 2 are dual compound - I was referring to the original Tourance, which are excellent tyres, but single compound (and have been since at least 1996 when they were fitted oem to my R1100GS!).

I have Tourance on my 13. Great road tire but I think they suck on anything but asphalt. I would go back to Mitas if I could find them.
