A lot of you have tried these tires with some subpar results.
I have run the bias ply 805 probably 3 or 4 times, with some punctures and one time I even had to put a tube in to keep going.
I have rode with riders that got a puncture and even ran into some random riders that said they tried them and ended up riding for miles on flat because it would spit out the plug.
So I decided to try the Radial 805. They have shorter knobs when new than the bias ply so they didn't look like they could last long enough for me.
I put this rear tire on to ride the TWAT and rode some deep sand and some very slick muddy slime. I would say these are not motocross knobby's but was very empresses. They just happen to be some of the most impressive pavement tires that I have run. [I have not tried any Road Attack Street Fighter racing type tires, Have no interest in that kind of tire.] They ride so soft and smooth on pavement and no noise that I can hear.
This tire now has 10,000 miles on it. I keep checking my log book because I just can't believe it has been that long.
I wouldn't say that I'm a hooligan type of rider, but I don't baby it. I will probable run it down until it's not pretty so I would guess it will easily run me another few thousand.
This front bias ply 804 only has 5,000 miles on it. I think it is fantastic!!! , smooth, and great off pavement and on.
I had one of them clearance Mefo Knobby front tires from Twisted Throttle on when I rode on the WTAT and it was probable the worst tire that I have ever put on a bike.
I have another Radial 805 in my shop for a second tire test but if it's anything like the one on my bike now, they have me hooked.
Disclaimer , I just can't put a China tire on my 2017 that my wife rides with me on, It just doesn't feel right. Kind of like she would have no value. So I'll probable stick with E-07+ on that bike.
