Tyre for my Tenéré 700 (90% pavement use)

Hi everyone, I have now come to a decision to make. I have a 2021 Tenéré 700 and I need to change tires.
I have come to this choice
Anakee Adventure or Continental tkc 70??
I'll start by saying that I never liked the standard Pirelli, even if I found the tire defective, and they never gave me confidence, I opted for the trailmax mission.
Having now reached 13k km with this tire, it's starting to slip and not a little, giving me some scares but above all repeated skids.
For the gear change I had my eye on these 2: Anakee Adventure and tkc 70 (standard, not rocks).
My prerequisites are:
- 80/20 or 90/10 on-off tire;
- reliability and confidence in accentuated lean (I would use mainly if not totally road);
- if I find countryside or dirt road, I shouldn't have any problems tackling it;
- use all year round, including rain (only if unexpected);
Can anyone who has tried them, maybe both, comment?
Furthermore, I am also willing to evaluate something else, provided that the design convinces me but I am reluctant to have a completely road tire.
(alternatives that I have seen are the Anlas capra R but I have not found any info or reviews, while the Bridgestone AT41 I know is a great tire but idk the rear draw of tyre).

Hoping it's the correct section.

I haven't try them but according to my research if mostly road riding the Anakee Adventure is a superior road tire over the continental but the continental would give you more offroad capability ... the review of the Anakee is outstanding but the TKC would give you more off road confidence... given you mostly are looking for a road tire and your ''apparent'' driving style is aggressive I would suggest the Anakee.

I run mostly on asphalt, like 99% of the time.

 

I had the front tyre replaced at 4000Km because it was defective, and choose the Anakee Adventure.

Compared to the pirelli scorpion, the anakee adventure brought a more smooth roll.

 

At 8500Km i changed the rear scorpion, for the TKC70 Rocks.

 

At 18000Km i changed both front and rear, with TKC70 at front and the TKC70 Rocks at the rear.

The smooth roll at the front went away, that was the first thing i noticed.

The reason i went with the rocks vs normal, at the rear, was purelly aesthetics.

 

Both tyres always gave me confidence.

 

Never tried the anakee at the rear, but at the next tyre change i'll probably go with anakee front and rear
