Hey guys,
Here's the situation. In 2023, I started experimenting off road. So I installed a set of Michelin Anakee Adventure (80/20). I had some fun. Now I want a tire that will give me a little better grip but I'm hopping for some confidence as a beginner in the dirt.
I'm not looking to do crazy stuff, I really plan to stay out of deep mud and deep sand.
I come from the sport bike world and a lot of track days, so on the road to get to the dirt roads and tracks, I enjoy to carry corner speed and 45 degree lean angle is regular.
I'm looking at 50/50 tires and I'm confused.
I was aiming at the Trailmax Mission for the road capabilities and longevity. Some say it's crap, some say it's fantastic. Now the Raid came out. But there is also the Continental TKC70. And others...
I know we all want the unicorn. I'm not looking for a race tire for the road and I don't want a supercross tire for the dirt. I'm looking for a good 50/50, knowing I'll probably ride 90/10... but relatively good performance for the 10% off road to enjoy it, not waiting for the pavement to be back under the rubber...
Sadly I don't have 2 sets of wheels...
What are your thoughts? Fast street rider, beginner in the dirt, looking for unicorn tire that would last over 10K km.
Thanks for your suggestions.
