No what I expected
I watched many videos and read many reviews on these tires. They sounded amazing. Long lasting and grip. 45 miles in and the knobs are rounded off. They don’t have the bite of Pirelli m21. They wander on the pavement bad. Sand is terrifying. I dropped the air pressure in half and it helped but they wandered more.
Bike is a 2017 ktm 690r. Location is northern Michigan. Terrain is heavy gravel, rocky trails, pavement, and connecting two tracks. These tires are disappointing. To be fair I only have two hundred miles on them.
Today I let a buddy jump on my bike in a hay field and he laid it down in 100 yards. Was amazed how an aggressive tire wouldn’t connect. Would love to update after a few hundred more miles but I’d rather get a set of pirellis and really enjoy the bike and trails with confidence.
