Given that it's 2020, any chance we'll see another update to this video? Trying to make some choices, and I trust f9 over pretty much everyone else...

[@nataliamiliano150]

Sounds like that’s a no. And why do you trust him? I have mixed feelings. I feel like he only showcases stuff he gets paid to showcase 🤷🏻‍♀️

[@P1ayD0hpaul]

@@nataliamiliano150 I highly doubt you would recommend Shinko’s over Dunlop and such, if your main interest was personal benefit via, sponsored kickbacks. Also his cheaper cost factoring wouldn’t jive with trying to make more $. His opinions seem quite detailed and from personal experience. I don’t see why I wouldn’t trust his. He has access to every tire, gets paid to know the products he sells & suggests, and doesn’t come across as a scripted, promotional attempt for one brand over another.

[@P1ayD0hpaul]

[@SkeletonWord]

These recommendations haven't really changed meaningfully enough to make a new video. Most of these tires are still the same and still just as good. Time moves slow in the cycle world

[@DeathracerXD]

Same

[@paoloconcina1632]

Hello Ryan its been 3 year since your last tire review, there are new tires on the market in the 50/50 bracket, it would be nice to hear your comments 1st The knobby tire Anakee wild , AX 41, Motoz rallz and Mitas Eo 10 2nd The big lug tire Karoo 3, Dunlop trailmax mission, mitas Eo7 + Looking forward to your reviews Cheers for Cape town

Just put these tires on your sport bike and maybe some wider bars and hit the dirt?

[@miguelm7211]

I don't even own a motorcycle and I enjoy every of his videos.

[@Soloworldtraveler]

I have been traveling across the Americas, started in Miami, through Baja, then Mexico down to Panama and across the Darien to Colombia and now entering Bolivia and over 32,000 km so far on Heidenau K60 Scout.s. On my second set after 20,000 km, and could have gone longer. The only issue for me has been the wet slippery red clay on the Ecuador border where I had my first off, exiting a corner they just slid and kept sliding until my inglorious off. Other than that they have been sensational.

[@p7ayboy]

As always, excellent video Ryan. 🤘

[@endlessprogression9543]

I’m glad I found this channel, thanks for the effort you put into the videos. Pure motivation.

[@Britishshooter]

Brilliant review of the current dual sport tires. You tell it exactly the way it is and get the essential points across succinctly. I do quite long off road hauls, like the extended version of the TAT in August 2015. I flew from England with my KTM690 into Montreal on Air Canada (bless them, cheaper than shipping and on my bike within an hour of landing) then crossed 14 states in the US before riding up to Vancouver to fly back.On that 7,500 mile trip I went through 3 rear TCK80's and frankly I should have used K60s from the Canadian border to Mississippi which was 70 per cent tarmac and then as it changed to 85% dirt from Mississippi onwards over the Rockies and across Utah and Nevada I should have used Dunlop D606's . Before I set off from Heathrow on Air Canada later this year to New Zealand with my bike I will be certain to check out your channel for any updates. Thanks pal for a great contribution.

[@Sum4Seb]

My wife and I run the Kenda K270 on our DR650's and we get 14k kms on average. We rode across Canada this pass summer (5800+kms) and the tires performed flawlessly. Best bang for your buck in our opinion. Great video Fortnine team! *T4S*

[@coisnotpog]

Sum4Seb i had a set of those on my DR. Fantastic off road. I do more commuting on mine now, so i went with the 705s. Anything is better than the stock tires though.

[@hansburkholder158]

Your reviews are head and shoulders above most others I have seen. Great editing for relevance. Thank you for not wasting my time.

[@IsadoreWoW]

Dude, I really appreciate the quality of your videos. Great presenting!

[@thomaswilliamfirby180]

His videos are absolutely cracking. I’m using Pirelli Scorpion 🦂 Rally STR Tires on my KTM Duke 125 just had them fitted 200 miles ago and so far so good.

[@Flxz0r]

Oh boy we're back on track. Happy new year RyanF9 and I'm looking forward to all the vids this year.

[@leicaman100]

Best Review and explanation on Tyres I've seen .... Thanks from sunny Wales and keep up the good work :)

[@left_foot_brake]

Ryan, these are the best, most informative videos I have seen. Keep it up! Now take my money!

[@michaelsupple6081]

I appreciate your honest, no BS and highly informed reviews. On this review I appreciated your opinion near the end of tires for lighter bikes. I just bought a Versys X 300 and I'm considering the Shinko 244 as the stock tires are way too street oriented for my tastes.

[@bradgiles8324]

Thanks to this video I just bought a pair of Shinzo 705 for my 2000 KLR650!!

[@youtubeisasshoe69]

i rock the shinko 705's on mostly pavement and love them. for a heavy bike they also give enough to do mild fire roads and are pretty good until the sand or muck gets over a couple inches deep. the turn in on the front is really slow but you get used to it and it feels really planted till you get to the limit. use these awesome things and leave with almost an extra $100 in your pocket compared to it's competition.

[@nsramage2410]

The 805/4s are worth trying and do fine roadwise

[@drummernads]

Great review Ryan. Yours is the only one with any decent information on the Tractionator GPS and has convinced me try one on my Ducati Enduro. I was struggling to decide whether to mount in the 50/50 or mostly off-road direction as I have a lengthy road ride in a few weeks. Considering I don't really notice the bumpiness or noise of the Pirelli Scorpion Rally and prefer maximum grip when venturing off-road, I'm swaying towards just leaving it in mostly off-road instead of flipping it around to suit the ride.

[@RolfGelert]

I have to agree with your light dual sport suggestion. Used an mt21 front and 606 rear on a trip through utah and colorado in 2013. Great wear, and still sticky on pavement. Last year used the shinko 244 and loved it for longevity. Have not tried the anakee 3 yet, but the compound worked great in the wet commuting on my vstrom. Currently using 705 front and rear on my versys, and although a bit sketch at the limit or in wet, cost can not be beat. Keep up the great reviews.

[@tripracer15]

Great review man. I run the Shinko 805 on my super tenere and they are absolutely fantastic.

[@pistolpete8311]

Great review, one tire to add would be the Pirelli Scorpion MT90. I run these on my 950 Adventure and 119OR.

[@nicolassolberg5652]

Awesome review R9; very comprehensive! My Mitas E-07's are just about shot, so this review is perfect timing - E-07's are great in dry dirt and even good wet dirt, but just okay on pavement (front floats on grooves). Shinko 705's are excellent on my Triumph Tiger 800xc for serious knee dragging and decent DRY dirt riding and slide very predictably on asphalt. I've been wanting Tractionators... but last I checked they're not in my size (90/90-21 front is limiting).

[@Ignoravo]

Since February 2016, Continental changed the TKC-70 and they don't wobble anymore. Excellent tyres for my R1200GS.

[@yoitstupidTV]

Just bought the Shinko 705 for my new KTM 1290 Super Adventure R. Thanks for the great review!

[@Dr.Pinetree]

Recently switched from TKC70 to the Anakee III on my KLR and couldn't agree more.

[@sammyscrap]

I love my TKC80 front tire - super stable, it absolutely got rid of the head sway I was experiencing with my previous knobby (the terrible IRC TR8 - buyer beware). I've got a Shinko 805 to try out next on the rear. Not sure if I can stray from my beloved TKC80 front even though I haven't tried much else...it just does everything I want it to!

[@JasonDennis817]

Perfect balance of facts, opinion, and entertainment. Great vid.

[@LJ-fe8vb]

I love the Michelin Sirac tires. For me they are Perfect! lots of predictable solid grip on road and very good off-road capabilities! i have bought them for 3 bikes so far and loved them!

[@RedRupert64]

Thanks for the great review 👍 You didn't mention the Pirelli Scorpion MT 90 A/T which is great on road and pretty good on dry tracks and gravel - similar to the Continental TKC70. Cheers 😊

[@OswaldoLafee]

Hi Ryan. I believe I gave you the same comment last year. Not mentioning Mitas 07s (sorry i said 09s) is not talking about one of the best 50-50 tires if not the best in the market. Anyways, you still rock! thanks for your awesome videos!

[@donaldduck2044]

Hey Ryan you do excellent commentaries. I've been riding over 50 years. I have had my motorcycle endorsement for 47 years.I have Been a motorcycle mechanic for 40 years. I mainly work on the Big Four Honda Yamaha Kawasaki Suzuki dirt and Street. I have been running the Shinko tires for as long as they've been out dirt and Street. Bottom line is if you don't ride for a living this is the best tire for the money hands down.

[@mr.boombastictm4080]

I bought a shinko yesterday and I'm amazed of its performance. Definitely a 50/50 for me. Roads in my city are not good which makes shinko perfect for my everyday commute.

[@RamanKathpalia]

Michelin Anakee 3 is made from a single compound. It's hard all around and that shouldn't be a complaint. It's to send feedback to rider when riding off road. After all, it's a dual sport tire. Great video Ryan, as always.

[@NinjaCrypt]

Just ordered a pair of Shinkos for my xr650l and was happy to see fortnine talking about them.

[@Nostrildomus]

I appreciate how you stack them up . Thanks

[@macthomas5340]

I can vouch for the SHINKO 705's. Had them on a KTM 450 Enduro. ONROAD: never slipped on dry/wet pavement, great cornering, handled highways speeds and were smooth/stable. OFFROAD: excellent in dry hard packed gravel or dirt. Not so good in mud or grass.

[@spacejockey9223]

What about sand? Well it's not a full on knobbie so the problem with mud and grass is expected. I'm thinking of switching my Pilot Road 4s for them.

[@macthomas5340]

Maximum Kek No experience in sand. sorry

[@cedricmarch]

Which tyres would you recommend for a WR250r? I mainly ride on pavement

[@SleipnirADV]

I would give a good shoutout for the Michelin Anakee Wild-tyres, I have them on my R1200GSA LC and they handle really well on road as well as offroad. The rear tyre usually makes about 8000km's and front tyre somewhere between 15000-20000km's.

[@jeremiaschajtur2624]

Hey Ryan, long time subscriber first time poster My question, how about e705 front and tkc70 rear? Love your stuff, cheers from Chile

[@690ADV]

that was very enjoyable to watch, keep making them

[@pdubbs128]

The quality and conciseness of your videos is exemplary. Other companies should learn.... If you are ever passing through Thunder Bay ON let me know.

[@TamourTahir]

Oh I watched this video 2 years ago and again today. My small 150cc bike is having now E705 at rear and 244 at front both from shinko and both were in this video😁 I think Ryan will approve 😁👍 great video

[@regand911]

For aggressive 90% off road on my Husaberg 570 I run the Motoz Tractionator D ( Intermediate compound ) and it's very good. Excellent all round.

[@Revnahead957]

sweet! I'm running K60 scout rear and a TCK80 front on my 03 F650GS and love em so far, first season. Cool thing is that my size of K60 does NOT have the solid bar centre but has quite the spacing throughout the tire profile.

[@markjacobs6294]

I've run 705s on a KLR, a Tiger Explorer and now my Tiger 800. Best for the money period. I've got over 80,000 miles of experience on them. I now am trying the 804/805 combo on the 800 and love them for 50/50 riding.

[@borysdewar9741]

Mark Jacobs Hi, was it Tiger 800xc or the road version? I'd like to buy Shinko 705 for my Tiger 800xc, but apparently they don't have tube tires in size 90/90/21. Can I use tubless tires?

[@romainprevot9456]

@@borysdewar9741YES, but still put tube in ;-)

[@denleemel]

Your knowledge is amazing.

[@aaronwinter447]

Thanks! I'm heading to Fortnine to buy some Shinko 705s!

[@hesperant5380]

I purchased a set of Shinko 705 tires based partially on your recommendation and ended up with a bad front . The wheel would produce oscillation at certain speeds . Now this is not indicative of these tires and I will try them again in the future but it illustrates a need to test the tires after they are installed. Give them some love as new tires are notoriously awkward but look for oscillation at higher speeds. I did get to try them at low speeds on broken rock and loose gravel in a hill situation. Despite being a terribly new person to off road they were comfortably stable. I felt like the bike was sure footed and responsive using these tires.

[@hammerhead2869]

Nice video. Thanks for the upload, dude. Personally I'm a big fan of the Pirelli Scorpion MT 90A/T... I've been using these tyres for a while on small capacity dual purpose motorcycles. I'd say that's about 80/20 or 70/30 Road/Offroad orientated. Great grip on the asphalt (even in the wet) and on rocky terrain. Not good in the mud, grass and sand though... It can lean to crazy angles in the corners on the asphalt and still has a great longevity. Plus the ride is smooth without any vibrations.

[@chandevabhayaratne9827]

Thanks. Very useful for me. Going with the Shinko e705s

[@JamesSmith-op7yc]

Thanks Ryan for more than good information for on/off skins. I'm in Michigan and ride rain or shine on an "07" 883 Sportster. Off road tires are good for most highways in this U.S. State; All the roads are "sucko". In my opinion 50/50 tires are the best choice, in the cities too! Thanks man for the great job! James Smith.

[@rrd9434]

You do great reviews with lots of details and high energy. Love it. Any chance you might would do a review of the new Metzeler Karoo Street? I need to transition from the 90/10 Anakee III to a 70/30 tire. Understand you like the Shinko 705, but for now, I am comparing reviews on other tires. Unfortunately, the Karoo Street are so new, only one KZbinr has done a review. BMW Rep recommended the 50/50 Karoo III, but I do not get that deep or aggressive off road. Thanks and keep up the reviews.

[@tonyc2854]

Wow, great reviews, good intel.

[@robertlabonte6092]

All your videos are top notch and straight forward as well as informative. I have a Vrod and Ktm 450 exc. You have helped me tremendously although I have not picked my choices yet. Leaning Michelin Scorcher as I have a 240 on rear. Ktm 450 exc looks like D606 rear and M21 front. You made awesome suggestions in all your videos. Tell me if you agree with my choices as I am in no hurry. Tomorrow will be fine, lol!!

[@RobbertHoek]

I have the Anakee 3 on my XL1000v but as far as i know its a duo compound tire. i absolutely love it by the way

[@EdExplore]

Thank you for giving us true and meaningful review. I ride a Africa Twin and you made my choice up. Going for the Shinko 805..ASAP P.S Revzilla is good and I rate them High on reviews and suggest them to any one and every one, but your reviews is so much more entertaining, fun to watch and I actually remember things you say, said, said and say... Haha Don't let the great spirit die!

[@JasonWD]

The Shinko 805 is an awesome tyre; I went through three on my Africa Twin (see it in the F9 review video ;) ) my last one lasted from Utah off road to the Oregon coast THEN on road from Oregon to Victoria(BC) and back to Montreal.

[@jnb894]

Awesome video! Great job!

[@OnceUponASundayxxx]

Thanks for helping me decide on the shinko's. on a budget, but need to do some highway commuting tires. Gotta leave some time for the fire roads though.

[@Zues434]

Great tyre review. Thanks.

[@stormedbyhippiesc3966]

Great video Ryan! Question, I just bought a Ducati Desert sled scrambler which comes with the Pirili Scorpions. I was thinking of the other options when these wear down. I do about 60 road/ 40 dirt but I live in Mexico. Love visiting small towns, the roads there can be cobble stone, mud and hard pack all in one day but I take the highway to get there. Also doing some fire trail type stuff. Any ideas on a good tire for that Scrambler? Keep up the great work!

[@rolandwurstner5242]

I just came back from a 11000 km Tour on a BMW R 1200 GS (LC) equipped with a pair of Continental's TKC 70. The route went from Germany via the Baltic States, Finland, Norway up to the Nordkapp, then southward along the norwegian westcoast to Langesund, via ferry to Denmark and finally back to Germany. The outside air temperature ranged from 35°C (95°F) down to 2°C (35°F) with lots of sun, rain and even some snow. I came across all kinds of roads from perfect to dirt track. The TKC 70 proved to be a wonderful tire. Comfortable, low rolling noise, very reliable with lots of grip under all road conditions, good directional stability, agile with almost no diminishing handling after lots of wear and even providing a high mileage (I made the whole trip on one set of tires). And most importantly: There was no wobbling of the front tire whatsoever. I even considered using this tire as my standard.

[@MountainGuerrilla]

I've got the D606 rear MT21 front combo on my XR650L and it corners like it's on rails both on and offroad

[@DigitalSamTV]

nice comparison. ive run the tkc80 and d606 rear... d606 is by farvrhe best dual sport tire ive had. pushing it hard on and off road i got around 8000kms. the tkc80 is amazingly grippy on the road but it wears down so fast and the knobs start of so small that after 500kms the knobs are not even up to scratch in the mud and dirt. the tkc80 is great if u dont mind changing it every 2 to 3000kms. however the tkc80 front is awesome... so the ultimate pairing is d606 rear with tkc80 front.

[@jaco_oosthuizen]

You can also consider the Michelin Anekee Adventure tire for 80/20 riding. I am really happy with it so far.

[@kymstock1852]

Motoz Tractionator GPS was my tyre of choice ( mounted in the off road direction) on my Tiger 800XCx for 50/50 use. My buddy on a KTM 990 hated the Motoz GPS ( mounted road directions) on wet sealed roads. I also got good service from the Mitas E07 as a 50/50 tyre.

[@pinkiewerewolf]

Excellent as always. As a new KLR owner I'm looking for what will replace the OEM tires and this was entertainly informative... which keeps my attention. lol I'm looking at the Michelin Anakee Wild on the rear and maybe the TKC80 on the front. I'd just go with the Dunlop D606 except I can't find them in the KLR rear's 130/80x17 size.

you are f*cking Awesome! straight to the chase! well done! this is quality material on youtube

[@kenpage7305]

Ryan, love your reviews. and you are very quick to respond to comments, which is very helpful. I do have a question in this arena. You mentioned your "beloved Heidenau K60 Scouts," but they did not make your list. I am a fan of them too, mostly due to their long lives (19,000 km back and 25,000 km front on a 1200GS) and good all around handling. Am i living in the past? What am I giving up by running them?

[@FortNine]

Hello! The short answer to your question is no - you're not living in the past. The K60 is still a phenomenal tire in terms of mileage, especially considering how well it handles off-road. Expect to see a lot of ADV guys still wearing them in 2017. And 2018. And probably 2019. *But* the Tractionator GPS (from this video) does the same job as the K60 and lasts a smidge longer. Plus it's reversible and that brings some versatility to the table. Most people will never flip the tire around anyway, but the fact that you *could* flip it to get more off-road traction is enough to choose it over the K60. Hope that helps! ~RyanF9

[@dullen87]

What about the Karoo 3s?

[@richardharrod378]

+1 Karoo 3s ??

[@dullen87]

The tire?

[@aukanmeister]

I could not wait to tear off my Karoo 3's. Scary on anything but paved roads. Good on pavement, and gives bragging rights for visual design, but they are not for me. I liked the old Karoo 2's better. Even though the 3's last longer. The achilles of the Karoo 3 is the sideways grip in the loose stuff. Hope that helps:)

On my Bike TKC 70 are awesome. Not worried about $100 bucks enjoyed your video

[@Max-ye9xg]

Wow that was very descriptive

[@osimnod]

Appreciate the "no BS" approach and well-defined categories of your review. I have the Shinko 705's on my Aprilia Caponord but don't have the courage or skills to take it off-road. 1998 DR 350SE has the Shinko 244 and they do well on that weight of bike but haven't tried any challenging trails with them. KTM 640 ADV has the D606's and feel very confident on gnarly forest service trails with them but rather noisy and wear faster than desired on pavement. Thinking of trying Motoz Tractionator Desert HT or Kenda Big Block for the KTM. Thoughts?

[@yb2112]

just bought shinko 804/805 for my 2018 vstrom xt based on your info

[@andrefreitas3932]

awesome to see a new video!, what's your thoughts on the karoo 3?

[@FortNine]

Not a fan. Metzeler calls it a 70% on-road, 30% off-road tire. But in my experience the Karoo 3 wears away *way too fast*. Like almost as quick as a 40-60 tire like the E805, which is both cheaper and better off-road. ~RyanF9

[@g5fan]

Ryan is one of the best presenters I've seen on youtube :) I have a dual sport KL250H Super Sherpa & struggling to decide on the best tyre, 80% seal, 10% gravel, 10% dirt. Is the Skinko 705 still the best model?

[@lorenc8010]

Just got in my new front tire for my 2020 Tw200 (Shinko 244 5.10-18) I've heard so many good things. The tread depth is a lot beefer than I expected! Time to replace the "death wing" .....

Thanks for this video. Really good info in here. I think I heard you say you ride a Vstrom. 1000 or 650? I have a DL650 and have been running the Metzler Tourance tires. I was wondering how they fit in your review and/or what your thoughts were on them. I may try the Shinko 705s next. They seem similar but slightly more dirt focused and cheaper.

hey ryan. i bought pr4s and for commuting they're great. but on the weekend i run allot lets say half my kms on dirt roads. its been ok on pr4s but i was wondering what other tire you might suggest. i ride an nc 750x. you make great videos keep it up.

What is the meanings of the lines (red, yeallow, blue,..) on the tyres? Can you explain it in the next video?

Just my 2 cents, Avon Gripster is an awesome 30/70 tire for the 650 thumpers., awesome on the street, very good in the rain, good on dirt backroads, fair on wet dirt and they don't like mud.... did I mention they don't like mud? 12k mileage on the rear heavily loaded touring, more on the front, just tossed a half wore rear tire on to wear the front out and start a fresh set. Bitch to install and the front tires tread pattern looks backwards when you install it in the direction indicated for rotation, but it works great, brakes hard, corners good. Ontario- Quebec - Labrador - Newfoundland - Nova Scotia - New Brunswick - Quebec - Ontario, 10 days, almost 8k, flawless. Currently have a set of Kenda Big Blocks on.... I do not like them. When they are done, Avons again or Kenda K761

Thanks for the video! What kind of tire is best suited for pavement covered with sand? I need it for a 200kg RE Interceptor. I live on and a tropical island, bad roads, bumps, often slightly covered with sand an grovel. Also it's very hot and often rains. asphalt is slippery as well. Ocassional mud, but not much. I don't ride fast, rarely faster then 100km/h. Price and longetivity does not matter for me, as hospital bills or even down times tends to be more expensive anyway.
