The first thing which impressed me about these tyres is that they don't track grooves on the asphalt as most knobby tyres do. They offer a very solid and confident ride on the road. For my skill level and/or riding style, they offer adequate traction off-road. The K60 Scout's which are renowned for their mileage, did not offer me the same piece of mind when on road as the Mission tyres. In fact on a trip to the Caucasus mountains I simply hated the front K60. It tracked like a magnet every groove on the asphalt, it would lose traction on wet and cold pavement and had a vague sensation when off road. I only have 5000 Km on the Mission's and mileage is what I am researching. Seeing that they can handle a long trip as well as how solid, quiet and confidence inspiring the Trailmax Mission's are on pavement I am truly considering them as a candidate for my trip to the Pamir Mountains where I am scheduling 3000 Km of off roading. The Mitas (E07) Enduro Trail tyres, which I have used in the past, are a great candidate for long adventure trips, but as I have already stated twice, the handling and the piece of mind which the Dunlop Mission tyres offer on the asphalt, is incomparable to any other long lasting ADV (60/40 - 50/50) tyre. What I am trying to say is that on a 18K Km round-trip, of which only 3K Km will be off road, I would rather sacrifice some speed when off road rather than endure the disadvantages/limitations of a more aggressive knobby tyre for 15K Km on pavement.

I 100% agree. I will probably be returning to these tires for the majority of my trips.

Running the Hedaenau Scout K60 rn and it took my 4 hours to get them on the rims 😅 planning on buying these next, so good to know it will still be difficult to get them on

At least you got some good practice in before hand!

What is the tire you are switching to?

I'm not sure yet. I'm considering the Trailmax Raid which is 40/60, but I want to see how stiff the rubber is first.
