Honest and informative, just as needed! I'm guessing people will have different opinions (we all ride differently and with different bikes in different conditions) but overall you are on point with what I've read elsewhere.
I switched from the Karoo 3 on my 790R due to the vibration. I'm about to mount my fourth set of Trailmax Mission tires. They are excellent for local on and offroad conditions, but suck in mud and deep sand. Cheers
Michelin Anakee Adventure is marketed as a 80/20 tire and road performance is very good, specially in wet due to high amount of silica and a thread design that has progressive grip in lean angles. It's dual compound and one of the most advanced engineered tires on the market. Maybe more aimed at beginner riders because they have no surprises and is designed to be very predictable in grip.
Paolo glad to hear youhave had such success with your 1190. I have 105k on mine zero problems does get proper maintenence. We met at the KTM rally Silver Star resort Vernon BC.
Recently ran a Mitas E10 Dakar rear tyre on my Super Tenere. Fantastic grip off road but Ive nearly 'burn't the tyre out and have only done 2500kms, mostly hard off road riding on a loaded bike. Looking at the Anlas Capra X for my next set. Great review. Thank you.
Damn! You like to twist that throttle hey!! If you are that hard with your right wrist i suggest you also try the bridgestone battlas ax41 adventure. Amazing offroad but a bit noisy on tarmac. You ll make it to 10000km. Otherwise the MotoZ tractionator should do for you but don't expect too much grip.
I just bought the Dunlop Trailmax Mission. I took them up to the Turkana Desert in Kenya. Tough trip and I just couldn’t get these tires to stop bouncing like over inflated basketballs. I was running 14 pounds and had my suspension dialed right back to try to get the rebound to fight this tire bounce. The carcass of this tire is so stiff I probably could have run them flat! Anyhow I’m gonna go back to E07 because you can just set the pressure at 22/26 and it’ll handle anything Africa can throw at them.
I just fitted a set to my Tenere 700, and the bike is horrible offroad, bouncing and chattering front and rear as if I had overinflated them massively. Trying to dial it out with the suspension settings but not having much success. Shocked at what a tranformation (negatively) these tyres have caused.
@@Hutchie2112 I can’t understand why they are so popular? Now that I’ve had them for about 13k Km, they still appear to have plenty of tread but damn they sure are slippery now. Not only do I deal with bouncy offroad, I need to contend with rear wheel slides in the subtle damp of the morning commute!
@@jaywhoisit4863 You know, I thought it was just me being hyper sensitive to tyres, because I am feeling the rear wheel slide out, especially at low speed , e.g. taking a right hand junction, move off, rear wheel slips to the side slightly. People are raving about them, and I feel like I have broken my bike by fitting them. Thanks Jay, I genuinely thought it must be me, because you never hear this side of these tyres, eh.
@@Hutchie2112 and your ride doesn’t have electronic aids for rear wheel slip. It gets worse with tire wear. I’ve got to fiddle with my traction control depending on the time of day, which is annoying. Mornings are cool and slightly damp, afternoons are scorching hot and bone dry. But really the surface doesn’t change that much that I should have to preplan computer slip settings. No other tire required this fiddling unless it was pissing rain or I was actually offroad. Anyhow, you’ll have this tire for 20k Km. Best of luck!
Thank you for good info. Question: will you post an update for 2022 in the near future? I have bought a second hand Ténéré 660Z and they are still on regular Anakees. I am looking for a 50/50 tyre for travelling so longevity is important. I would like to try the Shinko's 705 if I can get them easily in Netherlands. What is the second best alternative in your opinion for NW-Europe in summertime?
Hello. At the moment i haven't tried anything too new. I think the tkc 70 rocks look quite good for what you look for. Still pretty good on tarmac but a bit of knob at the back for extra traction.
Ah mea t to say if you still want that KTM Adventure sweater with the 1190 outline in the stitch drop me a lone whenyour back in Canada until then enjoy the 890 and ride safe. Scott M
@@PaoloCattaneo I just retired them at 12,800 with some tread remaining. Replaced with mitas e08, I expect I'll be old and grey before I need to replace them!
Paolo how are you;; i am from greece and i want to your opinion because you are knowledge if the tyres pirelli str rally are a good tyres. The tyre is 80-20. I am interesting about how match kilometres can do. So far i am wearing metzeler tourance that i am verry happy and the kilometers are 17.000. not of road particularly but some gravel roads. Thanks.
Hello mate! Yeah the pirelli STR rally are quite good. I was impressed how well they performed on my 890, even on muddy stuff. I believe you can stretch them around 8-10000 km riding in summer and not fully loaded. Obviously it will depend on how hard you will be on the throttle as well. Greek hot tarmac can get quite hot in summer! Have fun
Great video!!! What tires are the best on wet tarmac and cold weather in your opinion? I have shinko 705 on my africa twin now because they are cheap. I am in need of new tires. It always rains where I live and I do most of my riding in colder weather Edit: I would also like the tire to have decent longevity.
Hello. I believe the shinko 705 are some of the best tyres you can find for wet and cold. Longevity is also great on those. Alternatively i would go for the avon trailmaster v54. Very soft compound and average durability. Anlas is the only brand that makes specific tyres for cold temps and rain. Check their website for more info as i don't recall the specific name and model of their winter tyre.
hey bro, great review, helped allot. considering you have a heavy ktm bike, i also have same bike, please help. i cant make up my mind between tck70 and anakee adventure. i ride fast corners, mountain passes and highways to get to dirt and gravel rounds. which one suited you better?
Have to ask you! I live en Denmark and ride all year. What tyre will you suggest for all weather riding. I’m looking for a good tyre in the winter months, but also for rest of the year. Here it’s usually wet and temperatures around just below 0 degrees Celsius and up to 6-8 degrees Celsius. Only tarmac and a little bit of gravel. Hope you can help me?
Hey, a pleasure to help! So, i assume you ride mostly tarmac, hence for such wet and cold conditions i would recommend a soft compound and a 70-30/90-10 tyre. I found the tkc70 being a really good tyre in all situations. Of course any tyre would loose grip on wet but there are specific companies that produce products designed for cold temps. I rode with the avon trail master that came with the 890 adv and they were really soft and good for low temp. The bridgestone ax41 street are really good too, and a bit harder than the avon. Otherwise check the anlas which is the only company that has "winter tyres". I never tried those except the capra X (which were awesome) but i m sure they ll be great to ride up there. Cheers
Thank you for a great video. He just wants to buy tires for his motorcycle intended for riding 70/30. Everyday driving and journeys on poor quality asphalt and sometimes light off-road. I'm wondering between Anakee Adventure and tkc70 rock, which one would you choose? I also have Shinko 705 available, but they are not much cheaper than the others. Thank you for your help .
I m not quite sure how well the tkc70 rock front performs but i m pretty sure it s probably the best option for you. The michelin are really a 90-10 and the shinko, unless you get them as bargain, probably a tad too soft. I would go for the tkc if i were you
@@PaoloCattaneo As far as I know it won't come out. Continental's position is there's no need. Those who go more off-road, should pair TKC70Rocks with TKC80, and those who go more on-road, should pair it with TKC70.
I think the Shinko 705 ( well the front anyway) is a dangerous tyre , most conservative riders that don’t push the bike much would never notice, that tyre through me of my bike ( as it wouldn’t grip on braking hard just skidded) this tyre put me in hospital 🏥 with a brain 🧠 bleed 🩸. First off for me in 35 years ( on road anyway) and I totally agree with the K60,s wet weather grip VERY DANGEROUS in the wet . Personally I run the M21 Pirelli rally Ross front on my ADV bike ( it’s knobby but provides unbelievable grip on and off road and actually my last one would of got around 12000kms out of it - if I reversed it .Rear the Motoz Rallz fantastic grip off road and quiet good on ( even on wet )
thanks for the feedback mate! I'm sorry to hear about your experience with the 705. for some odd reasons I found them absolutely great. I had maybe 3 set of those and they all behaved splendidly. even on snow! I mean, this could also be a coincidence too, but I think it's a good tyre for the price in any case. I still have to try the Motoz. I'll do it as soon as I land in australia for sure!
@@PaoloCattaneo Sorry for Late reply, I do like 👍 your real world 🌎 reviews. As said by below Aussie below, if you come to Australia 🇦🇺 look me up I live in Wodonga ( gateway to some of the best riding in Australia )
Ciao Paolo. Complimenti per il video informativo. Volevo solo un consiglio: dopo aver usato due set di Metzler tourance Next sulla mia Urban GS, volevo un po' cambiare. Sono un po' indeciso tra le Michelin AA e le nuovissime Dunlop trailmax meridian. Quale mi consiglieresti tenendo conto che non vado (quasi) mai fuori strada? grazie e ancora complimenti ✌️
Ciao!!! Guarda ho appena finito di distruggere letteralmente (10000km) un set di bridgestone battlax ax41 stradali. Veramente ottime. Sono rimasto colpito. Se riesci a trovarle te le consiglio altamente.
@@PaoloCattaneo grazie per la tua risposta. Alla fine ho optato per le Tkc 70. Lo so, sono un po'più Off Road, ma ho deciso di togliermi qualche sfizio. Ti farò sapere ✌️
I'm confused... You started talking about Mitas E07+, then you moved to standard E07 (which is harder than +), then you added Dakar version to the mix.. So the final rate is for which tire? E07+? E07? Dakar version of any of those? Thanks!
Hello, I believe Mitas only had the E07 for some times (I had the dakar version) on 150/70 size. And then they made the E07+ now for bigger bikes (170/60 sizes) which you can get the Dakar as well (20% more longevity "declared").
I've a Guzzi Stelvio currently on E07+ and a KLR650 currently on K60's, the location is Ontario, Canada. I don't ride much below 7 deg. C. The E07+ is excellent on paved surfaces and firm surfaces such as compacted gravel roads but not quite as good as the E07 on loose slippery surfaces. Both are 50/50 with the E07 seeming to have a slight bias towards more slippery off road surfaces and the E07+ seeming to have a slight bias towards more compacted and paved surfaces. For me these kinds of tire are much more useful than a 70/30 or 80/20.
Good review ! In a direct comparison, which one you would pick between tck 70 rocks and Dunlop Mission ? I need new tires for my africa twin 1100 and i have restricted my options to these 2 tires. Thanks
I think tires are important, but not as important as the rider.. A good rider can ride on any tire and make it work and why I chose the heidenau K60 scout for my adventure bike, as they have one of the longest lasting treads and is good on road and off road. I also chose the cold compound version to help in wetter and colder weather, slightly less lifespan, but remarkably better in cold and rain conditions..
@@MrWizardofozzz Another way to look at it is that all riders reach the tyres limits when off road (even gentle riding involves a little sliding) but only the best get near it when on road. So think it best to bias more towards off road
I contacted some guys on insta called @decalmoto . they are based in Bologna italy, but they ship worldwide. there are several companies that offer this service. the stickers were good quality.
which tire is stickiest in the corners? i do a lot of mountain riding but want to do some light offroading and my tires need to be replaced on my drz400sm
some of the best corners I've taken with the TKC70. Otherwise the Shinko 705 were really good too. If you go on tarmac only, I would go for the Pirelli Diablo Rosso II. quite good imo
@@PaoloCattaneo i live at the bottom of two windy hills but also have a lot of desert dirt roads lol. i've got it down to tkc70 or scorpion rally str's now ...
Mate, i'm 6.3. The bike is not too small but it's fine. unfortunately except the 1290 we are a bit too big for any other bikes! I feel comfortable with this 890 now, having the preload setting to maximum and the powerpart seat, It reaches 870mm, which is pretty much the same height of the 1190. The perks of being slightly "small" for big guys like us, is that it becomes suuuuper easy to handle in offroad. while instead you have to manhandle the 1190-1290 all the times, especially when changing direction or in quick S turns. The 890 has averagely 30kg less to carry than the bigger sister. And it shows. the 1290 is a totally different beast.
bro iam 6.5 and weigh around 120kilos and i have the ktm super adventure 1290S and iam loving it. its the best bike i have owned and my future bike will be the new 2025 1290 r. thats how much iam in love with the bike😂 its the perfect bike for taller people that want comfort, touring and a bike that will make you wheelie in first 4 gears. Very important suggestion would be, get amazing tires. ktm super adventure is a beast and with oem tires or bad ones, shit will turn wrong quickly 😎😂
I love them, very good on all terrains and weather conditions and not noisy. I have a Varadero, I use it 80 % onroad and 20% offroad. They are now with 8000kms, I think they'll do 3000 or more. Mine are the Scorpion Rally STR.
@@brunogp8269 oh I'm looking for tires on my Varadero too. Good to hear you like them. I ride quite hard on road (French alps) but I'd like the occasional light off road trip. I've heard nive things on the Karoo Street as well! I wouldn't mind not doing over 8000kms on a set, I'm used to wearing down tires faster...
Completely disagree regarding MT 60 tires...for sure not 50/50 tire more like 80/20 ... handles same as one of the best street tires michelin pilot road 5 wet tarmac including...hard compund? - no way these one last for not more than 6000km on mid weight bike which is direct indication that the rubber is rather sofy
For some reasons i had a totally different experience with the mt60. Maybe it was the greek asphalt but i found those quite hard when cold. They need to warm up a bit to gain grip. Completely rubbish on wet surfaces though. But thanks for the feedback, mate! One opinion is never good enough. Cheers
I'm sorry but they are just horrible... and certainly can't be compared to street tires, especially the Road 5! I remember when they were fitted on stock KTM like the 640 and journalists would just scream at the poor performance, on any terrain!
Just subscribed, best most concise adv tire review I have seen. Excellent.

I feel comfortable with this 890 now, having the preload setting to maximum and the powerpart seat, It reaches 870mm, which is pretty much the same height of the 1190. The perks of being slightly "small" for big guys like us, is that it becomes suuuuper easy to handle in offroad. while instead you have to manhandle the 1190-1290 all the times, especially when changing direction or in quick S turns.
The 890 has averagely 30kg less to carry than the bigger sister. And it shows.
the 1290 is a totally different beast.
bro iam 6.5 and weigh around 120kilos and i have the ktm super adventure 1290S and iam loving it. its the best bike i have owned and my future bike will be the new 2025 1290 r. thats how much iam in love with the bike😂 its the perfect bike for taller people that want comfort, touring and a bike that will make you wheelie in first 4 gears. Very important suggestion would be, get amazing tires. ktm super adventure is a beast and with oem tires or bad ones, shit will turn wrong quickly 😎😂
May I make a long story short?
Mitas
Mitas are good! There are some new models out which are more performance oriented. keen to try some of those.
E07+ was all i could get when i replaced my first set of E07. Longevity was poor for the + version in comparison to the original.
What about Pirelli Scorpion Rally?
Haven't tried the Rally yet. I heard that the scorpion rally are a totally different game (better) compared to the MT60. I really hope so!
I love them, very good on all terrains and weather conditions and not noisy. I have a Varadero, I use it 80 % onroad and 20% offroad. They are now with 8000kms, I think they'll do 3000 or more. Mine are the Scorpion Rally STR.
@@brunogp8269 oh I'm looking for tires on my Varadero too. Good to hear you like them. I ride quite hard on road (French alps) but I'd like the occasional light off road trip. I've heard nive things on the Karoo Street as well! I wouldn't mind not doing over 8000kms on a set, I'm used to wearing down tires faster...
Completely disagree regarding MT 60 tires...for sure not 50/50 tire more like 80/20 ... handles same as one of the best street tires michelin pilot road 5 wet tarmac including...hard compund? - no way these one last for not more than 6000km on mid weight bike which is direct indication that the rubber is rather sofy
For some reasons i had a totally different experience with the mt60. Maybe it was the greek asphalt but i found those quite hard when cold. They need to warm up a bit to gain grip. Completely rubbish on wet surfaces though. But thanks for the feedback, mate! One opinion is never good enough. Cheers
@@PaoloCattaneo :)
I'm sorry but they are just horrible... and certainly can't be compared to street tires, especially the Road 5! I remember when they were fitted on stock KTM like the 640 and journalists would just scream at the poor performance, on any terrain!
Hey man, how many miles have you gotten out of the 1190?
196000 km which are 122k miles roughly
MOTOZ TRACTIONATOR GPS... BEST TRACTION AND SUPER MILEAGE ON MY SUPER TENERE.
DON'T WASTE MONEY ON MITAS E07 DAKARS. THEY WERE TERRIBLE.
