@@manybikes Mainly as tyres relate between one another. Especially the Dunlops, Mission and Raid (the mutants have dropped off my list a while back)... I am not a hardcore off-roader, but when touring I do find myself on some rough surfaces sometimes. I found the tyres that came original from the factory, on my CB500X 2019, perfectly exceptable for my style of riding. I only felt the rear give one time, on the road, in the two years I have ridden them, and that was a surface contamination issue in a turn. But they do suffer on gravel, graded surfaces etc. I have about a half an inch of chicken strip on the sides, I am not aggressive. Their thread is wearing out in some spots but I believe the Missions will be a huge upgrade. Longevity was also a big factor since sometimes I cover long distances at a time, across Italy on the Highway in order to get to Europe, from the south of Sicily and past the Alps.

Always giving us the low down on tire tech. Thanks for all the work.

Kyle, looking forward to your Raid tires review. As Raids are the softest of these should be the sportiest - best/stickiest for the twisties - correct assumption? For me it will be AX41 or this new Trailmax Raid when I want some more street oriented setup to ride hard without sacrificing off road performance too much. I am usually on Motoz Rallz rear and Pirelli MT21 Rallycross front (I dont like Motoz front tire on tarmac) very good combination but not as good to put knee down which is possible with AX41 - but with AX41 it is not confident inspiring so Trailmax Raid might be knobby "sporttires" hopefully .

Yes Sir! Now they are saying this. For years it was a 50/50 tire in all of the literature.

You're always the best source for ADV tire reviews! I had a chance to chat with you at Get on ADV fest Black hills 2022 about the K60 Rangers you were testing at the time. I bought a set of Motoz Adventure/Dual venture tires based on your reviews. They performed great in the dirt and cornered surprisingly well on the street. My only issue, was that on my 1250 GSA, they had a terrible weave at highway speeds. The weave was less noticeable after a few thousand miles. I just ran a set of MItas E07+ (Dakar on the rear) tires 7000 miles from Utah to Alaska and back. On my GSA they are hands down the best handling ADV tires on the street that I've tired. The rear was completely gone after 7000 miles but the front has a lot of life left in it. I feel like the Motoz Adventure will last as long as the E07+ on the rear without giving up anything on the street, but work better off-road. I think my new go-to setup will be a Motoz Adventure rear and an E07+ front tire. Anyway, thanks for all of the good work.

It's a great tire.

Have run all of these except the Trailmax Raid yet (thanks to Kyle's feedback). The Trailmax Missions were surprisingly good off road, in dry conditions, far better than they had any right to be, were great on pavement, and real high wearing. In muddy conditions, they were awful - downright dangerous, front end grip was like a light switch, went down hard a couple times with little to no warning. The AX41s were a great off road tire... for up 1,000 miles on the rear, however pavement performance was awesome, great feedback and high grip, overall life was 2k miles on the back and 4k on the front. Have got 700 miles on the Motoz ADV/Dual Venture Front. Great front end grip, progressive in a slide, doesn't quite put down power as well as I had hoped in hard packed gravel, but best grip in mud out of the three. On road, they are okay, finding them less confidence inspiring on twisty pavement then the other two tires. Looking forward to trying out the Trailmax Raid next

Thanks for the comment / request. 10 years ago I would have agreed with you. But today most of the modern Adv tires are tube type tires that havre modernized tubeless type beads air tight carcasses made for tubes or no tubes. The Motoz, Anakee, Karoo, and Mitas tires are specially made for both applications. Robust enough for a 600 lb. machine able to accommodate both tube type and tubeless rims. Now… OLDER tubeless tires… I wouldn’t use a tube in… I’ll do some more discussion with the manufacturers individually and see what each of their thoughts are respectively. Stay tuned!!!

@@manybikes cool! I looked for mitas 07+. For the front it states TL/TT but for the rear it's just TL! Their web page states tubes can be used, but the speed rating drops! Tkc70 and the rear rocks, same, TL can take tube, but it's not TT on the tyre! I wonder if some bad reviews are due to using tubes in a TL specific tyre, with manufacturers saying oh yeh u can put a tube in! You can, but no info as to a speed rating, or psi drop for off road and rim pinch! I googled what is the difference....TT have a special process for the inner carcass to eliminate heat/wear on the inner tube. The tube is seen as part of the tyre. TL the inner tube is a foreign object, more prone to puncture. Tyre must be embossed TT and TL or just TT. I'm glad you are intrigued by my request! Any help will be very much appreciated!! I look forward to a vid on it!! 😎😁

Hi Do we need to heat cycle ADV tyres. Especially the Dunlop Trailmax missions.

@manybikes

Well, that is a great question. Are you meaning get them warm before throwing them into a corner? If so, then yes. If you mean warm them up and let them cool down multiple times before they are "ready".... that I have not been schooled on from any of the manufacturers.

It is the heat cycle when you first put them on. There are several instances where the tread came loose from the casing here in RSA, and a lot of speculation on pressure, speed and the so-called heat cycle. I just replaced my rear after almost 19000km's (mostly tarmac) and put on another one. Cold weather grip is reasonable, so too gravel. Happy with the balance, but would like more grip. But as you say more grip > less mileage

The compromises each tire gives us! Heat cycles like you mention are not necessary to "break in" a tire. Scrubbing them in IS important, but heat cycling not so much. Low pressure will KILL a tire though, that is for sure!

Hey Kyle nice work. Are Conti TKC 70s and 80s falling off the map or is it just that others are developing and releasing more new models than Conti? Do they still compare in performance?

@manybikes

The TKC70 is an 80/20 tire and does not really compare in this 50/50= category. A favorite set-up of mine is the TKC70 Rocks rear and the Dunlop TrailMax Mission front. Good times! Looking forward to the new releases from Conti in the future. But no... the TKC80 does not compare to these monsters in my opinion. Just not enough technology.

@@manybikes I know you spent some time with the K60 Ranger Kyle. I would love to hear how it compares. So far I've torn through The Trailmax missions, Motoz adventure/Rallz, Bridgestone AX41, Michelin Anakee Wild, TKC80, Metzeler Tourance, and others on the big adventure bikes (KTM 1190 ADV, Tiger 900, and now Scrambler 1200XE.) My faves so far were the AX41 (though short-lived), Trailmax Mission (until it got into mud). The other tires were super squirrely on the road and not confidence inspiring at all until they got into dirt. Just wondering if the K60 Ranger has decent road manners like the Trailmax missions and AX41? Thanks for all you do Kyle and your helper is awesome!

Thanks for watching. It all depends on how much traction / how aggressive you want to get Off-Road.

All of the manufacturers with the exception of MOTOZ need to Make tires with more tread depth. Everyone I know who has a dual sport bike would gladly sacrifice a little extra weight and knob squirm on pavement for deeper tread and a longer-lasting tire. The manufacturers could offer one tire with the shorter tread depth and the same tire with the deeper tread depth. I guarantee the deeper tread depth would sell much better. I stick with motoz because they have the deepest tread by far.

@manybikes

For sure! Others have to comply with European standards and Motoz does not care about that... Thus the limited block height on most other tires.
