tire recommendation between option given

[maddog123]

 

I am looking for my third set of tire, I like to get some imputes between my choices below, I ride some mud early and late in the season but my tires never last a whole summer so really I only get one rainy seasons out of them, the rest is mostly gravel road often sharp quarry stuff ( nasty I know) that I access via paved HWY nothing far but still, I am a very aggressive rider, it's full throttle until I get to speed and my speed is fast, so my rear tire see lot more km's then the front, with that being said I have the Pirelli MT21 Rallycross and it didn't last long at all, the lugs are ripping off and are half wore out after 5 rides of gravel road and 2 small asphalt ride, so I am looking for something more durable but still offer some good traction on gravel road.  I am looking for a tire in the 40% road 60% offroad ranges that offer good durability and optimum traction.... yeah I know we can't get both but we can dream right ?      

 

I got it narrow down to these below, no necessarily in order...  you can throw in other options but still offer your inputs from the list, ordering out of country is a big No for me I don't want to deal with UPS and duty fee, I need to make sure I can get it at my local shop or online from Canadian sites and royal distributing is the only site I know to order tires.  

 

mitas e-07+ (very good reviews)

Continental TKC 80 (very good advertise offroad performance)

Tusk Dsport adventure (cost effective and offroad performance)

Heidenau K60 Scout (very good review)

Metzeler Enduro 3 Sahara (just to throw out there but more of a 50/50 tire)

 

I don't like the looks of the mitas much and don't like the looks at all of the Heidenau K60 Scout and by that I mean I feel like the center of the tires wouldn't offer optimum tractions due to the thread patters, you are welcome to change my mind.

 

Thanks for your imputes.

Bridgestone AX-41 front, MotoZ RallZ rear. I ride sharp AZ rocks 40% of the time,  pavement 60% and average 6,500 miles from the set.  This is my third set and go to tires for my style of riding.   Regarding your other choices, I've ridden Metzler knobbies on my dirt bike, no complaints,  but they only took about 1,200 miles of my abuse.  No experience with any of the others you're considering.

I've used tkc 80's, mitas e07 trail + (or something similar) and a tkc 70 rocks rear

 

Tkc 80 will be best off road. Great on dry asphalt but horrible grip in the wet in the rear

 

Tk70 rocks rear with tkc80 front 

Best on road barely aggressive enough for an adv bike on anything but fire roads really 

 

Mitas sit between the two but needs a more aggressive front

I forgot about the MotoZ rallz, wow that's lost of miles... I will check with my local dealer if I can get them, I know I can't online from the site usually I order on.

I've run the TKC80 and Motoz Adventure tires on the rear. The TKC80 only went 3,000 miles and got very slippery in cold, wet weather. The Motoz looks like it will go about 5,000 miles, though I am confident I could get 6,000 miles out of it if I controlled wheel spin offroad. I am about in the middle on tire wear - some get more and some get less miles. 

 

I've been running Motoz Dual Ventures on the front and getting good wear out of them, though I try not to brake heavily on the road to reduce cupping.  I'm planning on rotating them every 2,000 miles, but don't have a good mileage yet because I've not run any down far enough to tell. The longest I've run a DV to date is 2 200 miles with very slight cupping starting to show. That said, a friend wore his DV out in 3,000 miles of 50/50 riding, but he was being aggressive on the roads.
