My 2023 R 1250 GS came with these Anakee Adventures, stock. Had about 2500 miles on them and was down in Baja California with a group of GS riders. We went to Alfonsina, and rode about 2 miles of sand and dirt road each way. For what this tire is, it actually, for my tread depth remaining, did pretty good in the soft sugar sand in a wash near the East side of the Penisula and the Sea of Cortez. If you're stuck riding sand on these, with a heavy bike, at least look for rained on, compressed sand for as much traction as possible and try to keep speed and momentum up so the tires at least get a little bit of float above the deep sand. This is absolutely the best testing I've seen of these tires. The BMW is a big heavy bike. You can clearly see how throttle sensitive the tires are to losing traction with that big torquey motor in the 1250 GS. Throttle application is extremely critical on such a big heavy bike. Obviously, it's very rare to find a front tire that does well on baby head type rocks. Glancing blows is all you're going to get, it's going to get sketchy.

Incredibly helpful review! Thank you! I was just about to replace my Anakee 3s on my 1200GS. Now going to give this Adv version some serious thought. I don't spend a lot of time out on those tougher terrains, but as another commenter mentioned, sometimes your GPS (or poor judgment) just sends you out there and there you are! Thanks again, Kyle! Hope you weren't too sore after that minor spill!

My R1250GS came with this tire. I live in the foothills of the Appalachians here in the upstate of SC. This is a great review if you live in a desert area. Here where we have real twisties, you would have found out that this tire is just AWESOME in the switchbacks we call "any road we ride". I'm definitely a 90/10 rider. I don't go searching for dirt, but I love having these tires when I happen to get fooled by my GPS and end up on a two track. Great tires!

I have a pair of these on my 1250GS and the only thing that bothers me a bit is the noise from the front tyre. For an 80/20 it's a bit to much of a humming. But they stick on tarmac, dry and wet. And for light of road, they're great. Also, after 8.000 km, they look like they can take at least another 5.000 km more, which is great. Great was also the review. Thanks a lot, guys.

Fantastic review and riding, nothing fake about it. Word of advice for snow riding, do not spin the tire like you’d want to in mud and unlike mud, you want the snow to stick to the tire, snow grips snow. When you spin, you make water topped ice and there’s nothing slicker than water topped ice. Good stuff and I’m sold on these tires 👍

Hey Kyle, not sure if you've used them after your test, but they have (IMO) a major drawback: the softer compound on the sides wears off really quickly - I live in the Black Forest (basically only twisties, hardly any straight roads;-) - and after about 1500 miles, the center part is still as good as new, but the sides are worn down below the legal limit, and they're not fun to ride anymore, the bike starts sliding in the bends.

Now coming back after I purchased a set and installed on my 2019 F750GS. It is everything you said it was, however, at the end of your review you mentioned the noise, which I would call an annoying howl that these tires make when turning or even going straight at 60+ mph. It is something that street oriented folks like me may not want to live with. After putting on 500 miles, I am looking for a quieter experience tire. My goal was fire-road capability, so worn Anakee 3’s OEM were replaced with the Adventure. Any suggestion?

Hello, thanks for watching and your input. We tested quite a few tires in our ADV 80/20 and 50/50 shootout but didn't grade the noise of each tire--something we will keep in mind for next time. With that said, we did really like the Shinko 705s, they weren't too noisy. Noise can be different from rider to rider based on a multitude of factors such as sound sensitivity, exhaust, etc. But if you find the tires too loud you could always use ear plugs if you aren't already. Thanks again for watching.

Kyle, Thanks so much for the complete test. Too many ADV tire tests are done on street only. The only thing I wish for is a comparison, in your words, of how the tire fits into the market WRT the Tourance, TKC70, Rally STR, etc. I've used all those, and I am seriously considering the Michelin for my '08 R1200GS. In my riding the Tourance is an old friend, but not quite as dirty as it could be , the TKC70 front scares me but i like the back. The STR did an amazing job of getting me through deep sand an up the rocky climb to Mike Sky Rancho, but is awfully shallow treaded. Is the Adventure my next all-around tire? (With any all-around tire I sometimes switch to an Anakee Wild in front for tough conditions.)

Thanks for your inquiry Ted. This Anakee Adventure tire is a great all around tire as long as the going does not get too deep ;) The Anakee Wild or the new Bridgestone AX41 tire will really be the better ALL around tires as they really do a good job on-road and the will not leave you stranded or crashed off-road. I am personally a fan of running a more aggressive off-road tire all the time because "when you need it, you NEED it!" Again, my 2 cents... - Kyle

These are the best rubber I have had on my 2011 Super Tenere. I don't do off road as I'm now 70 and lifting up a tour loaded S.T 1200 would be "problematic" They have now done 5000 miles, mainly tarmac and back roads with poor surfaces, in France and Italy, and I would think the rear has another 4000 + miles to go. Also a lot quieter on the road than the Anakee 3's (I hated them)

Nice video guys. I have a “20” BMW R1250GSA came with Anakees but I’m debating on swapping out to some 50/50s. Looking at Dunlop’s trailmax Mission. Just feel like i need a little extra traction in the soft sand and lose rocky terrain. Anakees mileage is good. Gonna get 12.5k out of them. What are your thoughts on the Dunlop’s. Worth the swap? How is the road traction compared to the Anakees?

Go for it! we really liked the Trailmax Missions. They took the top spot in our 50/50 ADV tire shootout. They are comparable to the Anakee Wilds on most pavement but perform better than the Wilds in the Twisties.

How well do Trailmax Missions last compared to Anakee Adventures? Also, is there a benefit to radials over bias that you can tell? Would airing the Anakee Adventures down have helped off road and in the sand?

I’ve got these. Old ones were tourance next. What about the grip on tarmac? Leaning capacity better than the metzelers or worse? Im not so confident about the grip in corners. Metzelers give me all the courage That I needed to max leaning. Can I trust these ones? Thank You!

Kyle, what would you choose for a 80/20 tyre? I now got the Continental TKC70, but they are worn out. Should I go for the older Pirelli Rally STR, the newer Metzeler Karoo Street or this new Michelin Anakee Adventure. I drive most of the time on the road, and once and a while (dry) off-road, but not the loose sand or deep muddy stuff. Thx in advance.

The Anakee Adventure and the TKC70 are tires of similar off-road percentages.

The Anakee Adventure is a tad better in both the rain and in the harder dirt sections. -- Kyle & the Chap Moto Team

Kyle, watched both the Anakee Street and this Adventure tyre vids. Torn in between. Riding a Tiger 800 XCX, not doing the off road, maybe fire roads at max. 1 set of Adventures buys 1.5 set of Karoo Streets at where I am and I ride like 8K miles a year. Riding moderate, not pushing on pavement. Wore earplugs at all times so noise believe to be not an issue, still would not want more than bearable , which do you recommend from these 2 per these perspectives mentioned? Thanks

Thank you for watching and for your support Izzy. I really think the Anakee Adventure tire is a much more capable (gravel / off road) tire than the Karoo Street. That being said, the Karoo Street tire was one of the best street feeling (soft tread and responsive sidewalls) tires I have ridden on an ADV bike. If you are happy with the Karoo Street, roll em... if you want a little more dirt-ability go with the Anakee Adventures. I don't think you'll be unhappy either way. -- Kyle & the Chap Moto Team

You said "Anakee Adventure tire is a much more capable (gravel / off road) tire than the Karoo Street.That being said, the Karoo Street tire was one of the best street feeling (soft tread and responsive sidewalls) tires I have ridden on an ADV bike." so this leads me to Anakee Street as I ll be mostly riding on street. Plus, 1 set of Adventure buys 1.5 set of Streets at where I am. I could go with a more street oriented tire but the look of that type of tires do not match with the look of a ADV bike for my taste. Streets to go then. Thanks a lot..Wish the best...

I think I will stick with my Karoo3 tires. I would rather plan so that I am covered in the dirt even if I am not there too often.

Hello Gordon, sound can be somewhat subjective. If you are real sensitive to sounds/road noise then you may think these tires are loud. It also depends on the road surface-- on smooth paved roads and highways the sound is negligible--again depending on your sensitivity to sound.

95% of the big adv riders: You can't take a street biased tire to any trails, mud or snow! Chaparral: Hold my beer. This looks like a very good option for the vast majority of adv riders who's 'off-road' riding is hard packed dirt road but who ride mostly on hard top.

Riding on gravel is always a concern, the big GS wants to just bite into the gravel berms, and throw me off. A combination chunky for front, but then you compromise road cornering...
