Hey Kyle, great round up of the 50/50 tires. I think a lot of folks considering a 50/50 tire for their big adventure bikes want to consider road noise as one of their criteria. I've ridden the Karroo 3, the Trail Max Mission, the Motoz Adventure front and rear, and the Motoz Adventure Rear/Dual Venture front. All on a R1200GS. My Trailmax was the quietest, when it was fresh it did pretty well on dirt and gravel but sucked in the mud. It did really well on loose and jagged rocks. It felt great on the road and after 7000 miles I took it off and yet it still has tread left for next summer road trips. I also rode my friends r1200gs with Karoo 3's, it hooked up better in the dirt than the TrailMax but was noisy as hell and also vibrates. before the Trailmaxs I had the Motoz Tractionator Adventure on the front and rear and they hooked up as well as the Karoo 3's but the front was noisy and cupped quickly and vibrated at low speed on the road. Now I have a fresh Adventure Rear and the Dual Venture front and it hooks up great in dirt and gravel, feels very smooth on the road, and it's almost as quiet as the Trailmax. I think for the kind of riding I do (50/50) the Motoz Adventure Rear with Dual Venture Front is a great combo. If I'm going to do a multi state road trip with some gravel roads I put the Trailmax back on.

[@manybikes]

Fantastic feedback! Yes, the Karoo 3 are some of the bumpiest tires I have ridden on an ADV bike and they are loud too. The Desert HT is the LOUDEST ADV tire I have ever run... like a 4x4 truck on super swampers is running next to you the entire ride... WOW! I had an issue judging noise as I as on like 9 different bikes for all of these tires. The bikes with the Yosh and Leo pipes "tire noise" was not so apparent. However... the Africa Twin, CB500X BMW with stock mufflers the noises were much more pronounced. Thanks for your support! I too LOVE the ADV and DV combo as an all around 50/50 set-up.

[@wickedvivid75]

I would also like to thank you for your feedback. Between this video and your comment, I feel like I’m armed for my next adventure.

[@andrewtreloar7389]

Having tried almost every adventure tyre on the market from a Dunlop 606 to a Bridgestone Battleaxe, I can honestly say the Motoz tyres are the best I have ever used. The Tractionator Adventure gives exceptional grip in all conditions, including wet pavement, sand, gravel and mud with and exceptionally long life of 8000km-plus. I am yet to find better and with be sticking with these Aussie beauties for the foreseeable future.

[@manybikes]

Fantastic feedback Andrew! Thanks for sharing.

[@BlackdogADV]

I rode to the Arctic 3 times and I’m going again this year (depending on Covid restrictions). For this trip I’ll use the MotoZ Adventure rear and Rally front. This is 6,000 miles round trip for me.

[@manybikes]

Love it! Great tires for sure. Oh... I enjoy watching your channel too, keep it up!

[@BoilerRealm]

11,000 miles and counting on my Trailmax Missions on an R1200GS. They'll go to 14-15,000 I think. But they are very hard. Would not run them on a powerful bike without traction control. Pretty slippery in the rain. Happy with them on the street and gravel/dirt.

[@manybikes]

Holy Cow!!! I agree with your suggestions re: the hardness.

[@eddyennis9160]

Ran a Trailmax Mission on a trip from Bama to Big Bend To Southwest Colorado and back. Mainly 2 lane highway and back roads. Some trails. Phenomenal tire for that. Next trip, TAT from Atlantic coast to the Mississippi River, which would you prefer. I am thinking the Motoz…. Bike is a 2020 Africa Twin AS.

[@MarkAJones-uf3et]

Like the Trailmax Missions as well. Haven't had any issues on wet roads, notice they slip or slide in the looser materials though.

[@trevorcoleman5]

They tend to be seriously slippery in the rain.

[@manybikes]

Yes, for sure. I think it's the 80 hardness and the super round profile that creates less of a contact patch.

[@ewaltmana]

Like the others have said, I really appreciate your review of these tires. I've taken your advice for a few purchases! Two things you may consider including: 1) the difference in cost verses avg mileage. For example, the AX-41 may only have an avg life span. But it cost about $100 LESS than a set of MotoZ Adv Tractionators. (I've used both.) 2) I'm curious about the more aggressive tires that Mitas and Golden tyre offer. Be well! And thanks!

[@manybikes]

Good call! Thank you for your support. With most people not changing their own tires and a 2k lifespan on the AX41 vs 4k+ on the Motoz a $50 tire change will eat inot that pretty quickly. I too want to run some more Mitas and GoldenTyres. TOUGH TO GET!

[@ewaltmana]

@@manybikes You make a good point when factoring in having to pay for a tire change. Maybe it's worth mentioning!

[@warewolf885]

Excellent summary, thanks Kyle. One thing you should add as a point of difference between the Motoz Adventure and RallZ: the RallZ (and the GPS) has extra silica and is designed for improved wet performance. The Adventure is ok for DRY mileage, but if you ride in the wet, either on-road or off, consider the RallZ.

[@manybikes]

100%... I have full videos on that topic and this was just a quick overview.

[@jaronard1]

I’m about to swap out my Dunlop TMM tires on my 1290 SAS. I got 12,500 miles out of the rear and >20,000 miles out of the front. That said, the last ~3K miles have been all on road (mainly winter commuting), and probably wouldn’t recommend these past 10K miles on the rear and 16K miles on the front for anything off road due to the loss of tread depth. For my purposes, the Dunlop Trailmax Mission has been the perfect combination of compromises, but everyone’s needs are different.

[@manybikes]

Holy Cow!!!! That is some crazy mileage! Nice work! The TMM tires are fantastic tires!

[@Pug80]

Man I can’t describe how much your videos have assisted with selecting adv tyres. Would just love to get your thoughts on front tire choice versus rear tire choice. Currently running Rallz f/r on my Tiger 900 but have previously used a softer front which balances wear rates (Motoz Adv rear with Pirelli Scorpion Rally front).

[@manybikes]

Thanks for your support. I'd suggest the new Dual Venture front from Motoz. I think you will like it.

[@Britishshooter]

Great review. So few people take into account how much tire weight impacts on acceleration, cornering, braking and gas mileage.

[@manybikes]

More than most think, that’s for sure! Riding a 600 lb motorcycle with 125 hp… it doesn’t matter “too much” but a 250 lb bike with 40 hp it makes a HUGE difference!!!

[@amasdaha9734]

I just finished the Alaska/Deadhorse trip this year. I saw all these tires on route. Several people had the Motaz, and by the time they got to the dirt and mud of the haul road none of them were good enough. Personally i changed out an 80/20 Anakee Adventure in Fairbanks for a TKC 80 for the dirt and mud, did beautifully, and had enough tread left to get myself back to the lower 48. Mine was an 8000 mile trip, 2 set of tires, no regrets. If you don’t have the right tires you can still make it, but you may have to wait 3-4 days for the conditions to be right to finish the ride, saw some Harley’s on road tires do that too. Damn that chandelier shelf.

[@manybikes]

Nice work on the completion of your trip! Sounds.... AMAZING! This is a great example of a specific tire is good for specific "legs of a trip" and no "single tire" is prefect. I'd love to see your recap video!

[@TheKingOfKings818]

You can tell who you promote in every video man. Clearly your pushing the motoz tires hard. The fact that your putting them in the same class as the dunlop Trailmax mission is foolish. As someone who's ran them all. The Dunlop Trailmax is a league above any when it comes to the 50.50 class. Especially when it comes to the life of the tire and the off-roading capabilities. It was a game changer when it came out, and there really nothing in the same class the can touch it.

[@manybikes]

Well, I disagree with the Dunlop being the King of 50/50. It’s horrible in mud, wet grass and is a bit slippery on wet pavement. It is a great long lasting tire however. It’s not in the class of the more knobbier tires… I think it’s more in line with a TKC70 rocks.

[@TheKingOfKings818]

@@manybikes when it comes to the life of the tire compared to the knobys of course it's going to last much longer and not be as good in mud. But as an all around tire there isn't anything that can touch the life or capabilities for the style of tire. Including the motoz. I just took off the motoz gps before i had the mission. It is leaps and bounds above what the motoz could offer on the trail. Neither do overly well in mud but the mission shines when doing fast cornering on loose gravel and dirt vs the gps where i would slide out

[@manybikes]

@@TheKingOfKings818 I hear you on that. The center strip of the GPS makes it fail in comparison. I have run the mission on 4 bikes and it is a great tire in its own right. It’s perfectly in between a knobby and an 80/20

[@Mightycaptain]

Another important thing to consider is puncture resistance. A softer tire with big gaps between knobs can increase the chance for puncture. Also the stiff sidewall has advantages when hitting rocks and protecting the rims. In that regard it seems the motoz and trailmax have a real edge in both these things. And maybe the trailmax because of the narrow grooves between tread blocks and having the stiffest sidewall.

[@manybikes]

Yes, this is true. So many variables!

[@coconuciferanuts339]

stiff walls can leak air.Making it necessary to keep checking air pressure.Especially tubeless.

[@Rick92040]

Spot on. My buddy and I went to the top of the Yukon and Alaska with those two tires last year.The Trailmax went the entire 10k mile trip with no issues. Sharp rocks punctured tiny little holes in the MotoZ between the blocks. We had to use tire goop to keep the air in.

[@janwigger5853]

Hello Kyle, Great informative presentation of different tires. I always look at your KZbin informative films, great job time after time. I am looking for some advise on the following. We are planning a trip in May of about 2500 miles. This will be a mix of tarmac and off-road. My current choise is the MOTOZ Tractionator adventure or Rallz. Now I heard through experience that these tires gives a wobble at higher speeds. The new MOTOZ adventure front tire would minimise that. However that tire is not available in the Netherlands (as far as I know). What tire would you be advising to minimise the wobbling at higher speeds. It would be great if that front tire would last 3000 miles as well. Thanks for your support. Greetings Jan

[@manybikes]

Thank you for your support Jan Wigger. The Motoz RallZ rear tire should get you about 4k miles and the Adventure 6 to 8k depending on how you ride it. Bummer the new Dual Venture tire is not available where you are at... I would recommend a Dunlop TrailMax Mission, Anakee Wild or TKC80 as your front tire choice depending on how aggressive you want to go. Cheers!

[@fernangalindez8912]

Which would you pick if you had a long stretch of twisty roads(and maybe push the bike a little) before you hit the dirt ?

[@manybikes]

Motoz RallZ. Hands Down.

[@exparrot9074]

Thanks for the comprehensive breakdown here Kyle. Trying to figure out what to replace the Trailmax tires on my 1290 with. Still a fair amount of life left in them, but the tread interlock on the rear tire created a smooth center band and makes it hard to put down power on hard packed dirt roads. They are phenomenol on the street though and did a great job on dirt roads for 4000 miles. Gotta find the tire that will do 4000 miles, so I can get a full season out of a set, handles northeast clay, baby heads, but doesn't pick up a wobble at speed. Was thinking AX41s, but you may have swayed me to the Anakee Wild or Motoz Rallz

[@manybikes]

Yeah... the center strip on the Dunlop TrailMax Missions is a bear... only select tires have it as those specific bikes "needed more stability" for the center blocks. Bummer really. The AX41's are "my favorite 50/50+ tire" but I no longer run them as they wear out way too quickly. Like 2k miles. If you like the Mission... you will LOVE the Motoz RallZ! Give them a shot with the Dual Venture as your front tire. I am running this combo on my 950se at the moment and the front Dual Venture on my 1190 Adv R. Works GREAT!

[@exparrot9074]

@@manybikes 2,000 miles is tough if you're doing any type of touring in the year. Thanks for the tip on the combo, I'll look more into the Motoz tires! Trying to find the right tires for the NEBDR and MABDR, more than one answer for sure though, greatly appreciate all the videos you've put out on the subject, cheers from the other coast!

[@exparrot9074]

​@@manybikes ran with the AX41s for a full season, got less than 2k out of a rear and went through a couple last year - luckily they were real cheap last season. They had much better on road performance than a knobby has any right to. How is the Dual Venture in mud and how is the Rallz on tarmac? Motoz ADV or Rallz will be my next set, considering on doing the DV up front as you recommended. Need something that will hold up well in some New England mud

[@mytube335]

Hi Kyle, another great summary of the most on demand tires for adventure riders. I must say you helped me a lot in choosing the tires for my KTM 1190 Adv-R, not only for your professional point of view but also because we are riding the same bike. I usually ride on a mix of gravel/mud/sand. I am on the second set of Michelin Anakee Wild, I can't ask for more. Besides, they perform very well also on tarmac (dry and wet). Thanks again for the awesome job you have done in reviewing all these tires!

[@manybikes]

Glad to help! Nice bike too ;)

[@jessepacht6382]

I have run 2 sets of Anakee Wilds (approx. 5k miles/set) on my T7 and totally agree with your assessment of that tire. Great traction, decent tread life, and good price for what you get. I'm going with Motoz Adventures for my TAT ride next summer and it sounds like that'll be a good choice as well. Thank you for a great review and keep them coming!

[@manybikes]

Awesome! Thanks for your feedback!

[@PrestonVB]

We're on the same bike! I'm just over 5k on the OE tires and liking the Michelins. How are they on the road/highway? My on/off road ratio is more road biased than I would like at the moment, i have a LONG commute (100 mile round trip). When not doing that I'm looking for practice dirt.

[@jessepacht6382]

@@PrestonVB Like most knobbies, the Anakee Wilds will get prematurely chewed up on tarmac. They do grip pavement fairly well and you get plenty of warning just before they break free. I'd look for a more 70/30 tire for your long commute and occasional dirt forays.

G'day Kyle, Great comparison! I'm sure I'm not the only one that would be very interested in a similar comparison for tubed tyres for lighter adventure bikes like the Tenere 700 and limited to those that have sidewalls that are soft enough to enable trackside puncture repair with a decent set of tyre levers.

[@YauteAdventure]

Hey ! Great content as always, thank you! I have a question for you: Motoz isn’t very spread across the European market… and I’m looking for a more aggressive tire than my current Anakee Wild that are good on dry terrain, but show their limits when it gets soft and muddy. As my Africa Twin is tubeless, i don’t have lots of options: Mitas E-09 or Motoz RallZ. The Mitas is really a good agressive 80% off road, I can’t go wrong with it. However the RallZ is advertised as the most off road oriented tyre of the brand but i seriously doubt it’s more than 50%… Finally comes my questions: - How do you position the Motoz RallZ compared to a Mitas e-09 in terms of off road abilities ? - Could you add Mitas tires in your reviews ? - What other more agressive tubeless tire could you think about that could fit my africa twin, than the two I mentioned for soft and muddy terrains ? Thanks a lot !!

[@manybikes]

Thanks for your feedback and inquires Anthony. The Motoz RallZ or the Motoz Desert HT will be the tow most aggressive tires you can run on your Tubeless bike. The E10 and E09 are also Great Choices. I have run the Mitas and have tested them, but I have a hard time getting ahold of them here. If I were in your shoes I'd run the RallZ.

[@YauteAdventure]

Thanks for your very quick answer ! mitas is easy to get here, and half the price of the motoz. Last two questions for you: So according to you the RallZ is as off road oriented as the E09 ? And as a Motoz experienced pilot, does the RallZ has good traction in the mud? I’m asking because I assume the compound is rather hard if it has a high mileage, which isn’t the best for soft terrain. Thanks !!

[@manybikes]

@@YauteAdventure Yes and Yes. The Rallz is great in mud and lasts a long time. It’s tread depth is deeper than the Mitas and thus some of the extra mileage. Both are great tires.

[@d.Cog420]

Don't know about the RallZ but I've run both the Mitas E10 and E09. There's not much between them for traction IMO but the E09 has bigger tread depth and lasted about 50% longer. Trying the E07+ now and I've just done a 4500km trip both tarmac and gravel with a bit of soft stuff using them and they handled everything well and have lots of tread left. Should get 8-10,000 km from them I'm guessing. I'll be putting the E09's back on when they are shot though, love them and they have better off-road capabilities. The E10 is rated a bit higher in terms of top speed but with the E09 at 170kph that's enough for me. Triumph Scrambler XE.

[@deanholden1808]

Excellent video - thank you for sharing your wisdom! I have a 2007 KTM 640 Adventure and my riding experience is heavily-biased to off-road. I currently have DOT approved knobbies, so like a 20/80% on/off road bias. They are not always confidence-inspiring on pavement and are certainly more noisy than most other 50/50 tires I have ridden with, but are excellent in deeper gravel and the dirt; noisy on the road and wear quickly. However, I am looking to move back to more of a 50/50 setup as I want to ride a couple of dual-sport loops into Montana (Whitefish area) and the eastern Kootenay's (Grey Pass) in Canada this summer. I stick to paved secondary highways, dirt double track and gravel roads (these can be more dirt, to double track-worn 'grooves' where the vehicles have pushed the gravel away, to more uniform loose gravel.) Rarely do I ride deep gravel. I want to be able to have the tire longevity to get a 3000-4000 kms out of them this summer to complete these trips without having to replace them during the loops. I estimate the rides will be 50-70% paved with the rest dirt and loose gravel. I weigh 215lbs (plus another 40-ish pounds of gear.) (The Dunlop Trailmax Mission sounded/looked good at 50/50 but given it's weight and I am on a 640, kind of made me wonder...) What would you recommend? Thank you again!

[@manybikes]

Awesome!!! Your 640 us a unicorn of a bike.... super fun! For your bike and the riding you will be doing, I would recommend the Motoz RallZ in the rear and the Tube Type Dual Venture tire in the front. The street grip / confidence is fantastic and the off-road nature of the tire is fantastic. I think you will be impressed.

[@Big_Deal]

Hi Kyle. Trying to decide between the Motoz Rally and the AX41 for a KTM 390 Adventure. I ride tons of gravel roads, 1 BDR a year, and also a fair amount of pavement. Which one would you choose for that application?

[@manybikes]

If you are running a tubeless wheel, the RallZ rear for sure. If tube type, the Adventure Rear. I’d pair it with the AX41 or the Dual Venture up front. I can supply the Motoz if you go that route. Www.manybikes.biz

[@MLuddyJr]

Really solid review. I went from TKC80s to the TKC70 Rocks on my R1200GS because I wanted better street performance. The 70 Rocks is “enough” in the dirt, but it requires me to pick my line and be conservative with what I’ll attempt in the dirt. I’m eyeballing the AX41s so I can be more adventurous off road without giving up street performance.

[@manybikes]

WARNING! Once you ride the AX41 you will be in LOVE but... you will be changing tires every 2k or so... The TKC70 Rocks I have found to be similar on the road but about 30% less capable off road as compared to the AX41. Have fun!

[@tccalvo]

Thanks Kyle for the always comprehensive report! Why don’t you think of adding tire “noise” to the equation? I just rode about 6 hours of on road miles on a 1250 GSA with the Tractionator Rallz on the back and the Tractionator DV up front. The noise between 50-80 mph was unbearable and I’m not blowing this up, I’m a Motoz fanboy. Psi was 33 and 36. I thought that DV would perform way better in on road noise than the Rallz. Boy was I wrong … shopping for tires again 😔

[@manybikes]

That is crazy! Maybe my Yoshimura masked the sound or maybe it is the tire size that is the difference. I have only ridden those on the 90/90-21 and they are great and non-noisy. That being said, on the road for 6 hours... crank them up close to 40 psi and the noice will be VERY diminished. The K60 Ranger is on the water and will be here soon, can't wait for that one!

What would you recommend between Heidenau K60 Scout and Motoz Tractionator GPS? And biggest reason/factor? Thanks.

[@manybikes]

I would totally recommend the GPS. Reason is the tire compound. The Heidenau is more like plastic and the Motoz is more like rubber.

Thank you very much for all of your in-depth reviews! Most people are concerned about rear tires and rear tire mileage, but I personally have struggled with finding a front tire I like. Any chance you could dive into some front tire reviews? All my buddies run the TKC80 front but I hate how quickly it gets cupped and it never lasts as long as my rear tire (Motoz Adventure) and I've just had the same experience with the Bridgestone front. Would be great to get some of your mileage/testing/networking expertise on the best front tires for mileage+traction+on road performance. Thanks again for all your hard work!

Well, thank you for your comment. Front tires are typically paired with the rear and typically last longer than the rear tires and most people swap them both at the same time.

[@TheDustinlangston]

I have an R1100GS that is currently fitted with a Motoz Desert HT rear and Shinko 804 Front. I do mostly fast dirt roads and occasional atv/utv trails at my local OHV trail system. I also love carving some corners in the twistys but really have a dedicated track bike for that. I’m somewhere between the Rallz, Wild, and Bridgestone. What would you do? Love the Desert HT but the noise is too much. Thanks for the amazing review video!

[@prepper_nation_h]

How do/did you like the 804 up front? I have an 805 rear, currently, paired with a K60 Scout up front. I hate the K60 because it is so noisy, but my 805 in back has been remarkably smooth and quiet. Was wondering if the 804 is likewise smooth and quiet-ish as a front option?

[@TheDustinlangston]

@@prepper_nation_h it was great for on road and not bad off road. I switched to the Motoz Rallz and lost some on road cornering and braking stability but gained some confidence off road and in mud.

Hey Kyle, i am looking for advise about tires for my yamaha wr250r. I would be riding in Colorado riding 50/50. For example 1st day riding highway to the trails, pass, next day hitting trails going over passes ext maybe making it ovet to Utah/New Mexico. Any advice will be appreciated. Thank you.

Yes! Motoz RallZ in the rear and Dual Ventute up front. I've got them when you are ready.

[@eaonhamend5518]

Hey Kyle, I ride a 2019 1250 GS as my only means of transportation so it has to be able to commute with comfort as well as support my weekend adventures for camping etc. I ran a set of the trail max missions and loved their mileage and pavement performance but found them to be seriously lacking in any type of mud or wet earth situation. After getting stuck once and having to hike out 7 miles for help and having them slide sideways into a mud hole another time I abandoned that tire. I ride alone 99% of the time so getting stuck is not acceptable. I’m currently on a set of the Moto Z tractionaters and my main complaint with them, truly my only complaint after 7000 miles, is that they howl like a banshee between 35 and 70 mph. I’ve been looking at the Anakee wild as it is reported to have good manners off and on road. Can you comment on road noise of this tire, or any other of the 50/50’s you’ve tested? All your testing and documentation and comments are much appreciated.

[@manybikes]

Awe, thanks for your kind words. The Motoz GPS is what I’d suggest in the rear and Dual Venture up front. 12k mile set of tires that work really well everywhere. The Anakee Wild is great but I fount it to last less than 4k miles abs for me was noisier than others.

[@prepper_nation_h]

My experience is that the Anakee Wild lulls you into a false sense of comfort initially because when they are brand new they are *relativity* quiet and smooth, but after you've worn them in 25-50% they get really quite noisy and transmit a lot of vibes through the handlebars. At least that was my experience on my DL650. They are great performers in all other respects, though, but I would avoid buying them again myself just due to noise and vibration.

[@Bacon676]

Got my new '24 Africa Twin Adventure Sports ES, and I'm pretty confident in swapping the stock road tires on the 18/19 wheels for the motoz adventure in the rear and dual venture on the front.

Hey mate 👋👍🏼 Realy appreciate the time and research you put in to which makes life a much easier for all ADV riders. Just wanted to ask how many miles / kilometres you got out of Bridgestone AX41 Adventure cross on the 390? Was it more then the heavier bikes? I own a 390Adv and am guessing you might have got more miles on the 390 being a much lighter bike. Thanking you in advance, Appreciate the feed back 👍🏼 @mrluxta

2100 on the 390. The front was still good but the rear was toast!

[@mrluxta]

I couldn’t get my hand on the Ax41 ended up with Karoo 3 for my KTM 390 Adv. So fare after 5000km rear is at roughly 50% which I’m happy with cause most was street riding. The front 😣 Off road it has a mind of its own 🤭 Keeps sweeping left and right and doesn’t really give me much confidence. Not sure if it’s caused by the bike being light or because the 390 adv doesn’t have front end stabiliser/damper.

[@MarkBardell-f2l]

I am riding a pan am 1250s. Currently running the standard 80/20 tires. I'm looking to change up to a more off road oriented tire. So far I have chosen the motoz tractionator gps. Problem is my supplier can supply a rear but have no stock for the front.(I'm in New Zealand) They have suggested the gps rear and the dv front. Your opinion please. Thanks for the info you have on hand. It has been great and has helped me form an opinion as to choices. I just need to see what you have to say regarding the selection I'm looking at before I pull the trigger. Mark, Auckland New Zealand.

What's up Mark! The GPS front and rear are good but I do personally pair the rear GPS with the Dual Venture front. Email me or txt me (both contacts are here: www.manybikes.biz ) and I'll hoot you images of the combo on a Pan America. The Dual Venture is better off road than the GPS front... and isn't "that much more" noisy or rough on the highway. It's a good combo.

Kyle, I’m a short guy, 29 inch inseam on a 2023 890 adventure. I just put the motoz adventures on it. I swear it took the bike back up another 2 inches, so I’m back on my tippy toes. Are there any low profile tires you could suggest that could perform like the motoz but get me back on the balls of my feet again? Yes, I already have the lowered seat, lowered spring and forks slipped down an inch. Thank you 🙏

[@manybikes]

I hear you! I have two bike that I can't even tippy toe on both sides. While tippy toeing on one side... the seat is in the crook of my knee on the other side. It is a struggle. In answer to your question, For a shorter tire, I would suggest the Bridgestone AX41 as its lugs are half the height of the Motoz and while the same size on the sidewall... the tire does feel a bit shorter. There is not a shorter sidewall tire that fits your bike. Now, a FIX that several people I now have done is they have gone to 19" front and 17" rear tires. Those rims do have lower profile tires and in combination with the 2" up front and 1" in the rear wheel diameters, this really does help. Woody makes wheels for your bike in this set-up. Not cheap, but functional. Good luck!

[@orangelion03]

Great summary as usual Kyle, thanks! I'm planning a long trip for the summer which will hopefully include a lot of off-road riding. Have really liked the AX41 I have on the back, but it's nearly shot at 1500. Looks like the MotOz Adventure GPS might be the best choice (have not read all the comments here so hopefully more input there as well). How about some info on fronts? Not as critical? I have had a Shinko 804 for over two years...wore out three 805s and the AX41...and still has usable tread; has been good in every condition I've ridden but have no experience with other brands to compare. Would a matching MotOz be a good choice or just stick to what I know? Cheap too =)

I've run bias and radial 805's, and 705 and would not hesitate to take 705 anywhere except mud or several days of deep sand, it did 100 in CO BDR many rocky passes/steep/ streams/sand, grips like crazy out there on angular granite dust/sand/stone/streams

@@galehess6676 Thanks for the response Gale! I ended up with a GPS on the rear and another 804 on the front on my wire wheels. Surprisingly, the GPS started tearing after 500 miles. Motoz stood up and is in the process of replacing it at no charge (and they accepted a change in size since I subsequently bought a 17 GSA during the process). I kept a set of 705s on my alloys and I agree, they are a great, inexpensive, all-rounders. I do wear them out fast though, rear never lasting more than 4K. I recently bought the GSA, used, fitted with near new Anakee 3s (had a set on my GS last year for a month long trip...great tire on pavement and got over 8K miles out of the rear!), so that "new" GPS may sit on the shelf a while (or sold off)

Hey Kyle , love your videos , what made you change your mind on the rating of the Trail Max Mission from 50/50 to 70/30 ? You had rate it 50/50 in the Chaparal ADV Tire test you did previously with long detail explanation during the tests . Did Dunlop twist your arm to rate it 50/50 ?

[@manybikes]

Thank you for your inquiry. It is rated by the manufacturer as a 50/50 tire and it will take you most places a 50/50 tire will take you. It is not an 80/20, that's for sure... but without "knobs" I really don't think it is a true 50/50 tire... just a step down. The new Dunoop TrailMax Raid, now that tire with true blocks is more of a traditional 50/50 tire.

Great review Kyle! I took your advice on the RallZ and mounted a set on my T7 for my 11,000 mile 53 day TAT trip. I live in Virginia and did a little more than the TAT Trail including some Continental divide trail, Moab Hell’s revenge and slick rock, up to Jackson Hole etc. I replaced them with the same in Oregon with 6,000 miles on them. I did the Pacific Coast Highway, California desert Barstow to Vegas, then home (4,000 miles) and still had a good bit of tred left. Traction was not as good as the MotoZ Hard Terrain but quieter on the highway and better grip in the twisties. Overall I am very pleased with them. When I got home I installed a set on my wife’s KTM 390 Adventure. Have you ever run RallZ rear with H/T front? I feel that might be a good setup in the woods with soft or muddy conditions but a tad sketchy on the road. Thanks, Jason

[@manybikes]

Great follow-up Jason! Your trip sounds like it was AMAZING!!! We should have hooked up (not like that... but for a ride) when you were passing through! I'd travel any where south of Vegas from the water to NM.... Food for thought. The Desert HT is a 90% off road tire and it DOES out perform the Rallz in the technical dirt, but the RallZ is much better on the road. I HAVE run the Desert HT up front and the RallZ in the rear... but for the 390 Adv I would recommend the Tube Type Dual Venture tire in the front and the RallZ on the rear. That combo is SWEET!

Also, considering front tire only, which knobby tire has better street performance in the twisties: AX41, Motoz GPS, or other? Thanks

Yes Sir! A Road Race Track like Laugna Seca! Here is a time I rode 120 miles to the track, ripped 4 sessions on the TKC80's and then rode home. The AX41 is the most sport bike like feeling tire out of this 50/50+ mix of tires and is hands down the best feeling in the twisties.

Here I am in 2024 still benefiting from this. Serious question though: It looks like all the awesome tires you reviewed here are all about 2x the cost of Shinko 804/805 or Kenda Big Blocks, therefore, they have to get at least twice the lifespan to make them worthwhile. Is it reasonable to expect that? (And I realize all the factors you said about usage, motorcycle & rider(s) weight, season all have to do with it, so let's assume the comparison is normalized across those factors.)

Its been asked a million times, but here goes for the best ADV tire. I don't care about noise, cost, or mileage. All I care about is the bite - on dirt, gravel, mud, and tight twisties.

I have the trailmax mission and perform awesome on everything but mud, like a sportbike tire on the road and really good fast gravel. Thoughts???? Thanks!!!!! One more, where do the Mitas E12 E13 and NEW versions fall? Look really good, could they compete with the Motoz as far as off road bite and still scrap the pegs in the turns?

Great video! New gsa 1250 owner! What is the best 80/20 tire for my heavy bike? Mostly road riding! Thanks

[@manybikes]

Thanks for watching! I'd say the Anakee Adventure is high up on the 80/20 list.

[@houjous5131]

Have you tried the mitas e07+ or e10? I'm looking at the tractionator's or these two for my winter commuting & play.

[@manybikes]

Not a fan of the e07+ but loved the e10!

[@PeeFunk2008]

Glad to hear the Trailmax is more of a 70/30. Just got an old 650GS with one on the front nad a knobby on the rear. Going to get a new one for the rear so they match.

[@manybikes]

Nice!

Hi there. New subscriber here and fairly new on topics about tires. I have a crf 300 rally and i wanted to change my stock tires to a pirelli str rally, my only problem is that the rally's stock tires are not tubeless, it has inner tube, would it be ok to change into the str even though the str's a tubeless tire? I've read about it that it's no problem putting in an inner tube on a tubeless tire but i'm not really a 100% confident about it. Any thoughts?

[@manybikes]

Welcome aboard! Thanks for your comment. Yes, you can totally run a tube in most tubeless tires. A lot of ADV tubeless tires actually say on the side, if putting on a tube type rim, insert a tube. You can do it without fear.

Hello Kyle! What is Your opinion on Mitas E-07(+) vs. Motoz adv. vs. Motoz Rall Z? Thanks!

[@manybikes]

The E07(+) is more geared towards the Motoz GPS tire. I have run all three of these tires in the same exact places and the E07 felt more like an 80/20 tire than a 50/50 tire. I got much more hook-up and straight line drive from the Motoz GPS tire than the E07+ Dakar. E07 I see as just less aggressive than any of the Motoz.

[@robertstiles5533]

Hello. Truly good work. I have to ask what do you think best tires are for dirt roads or gravel roads you know town roads. I like traveling them. Less traffic. Your help is greatly appreciated

[@manybikes]

Motoz Adventure in the rear and a Dual Venture up front. That’s like a 10k mile combo!

[@scottseibert217]

Hey Kyle I’ve got a Kawasaki klx300r that is street legal now I need a tire for some street use and does really well off road some nasty hard technical single track any good ideas ? Thanks Scott !

[@manybikes]

100% go with the Motoz RallZ in the rear and the Dual Venture tire up front!

[@tennyis28]

would you say the tracitionator GPS is worth 50% more then the trailmax mission? the Motoz are really pricey in Canada

[@manybikes]

Hummm... I'd say I would run the Mission if the price was half that of the GPS. They are both great tires but the GPS is a bit more aggressive.

[@mikegillespie266]

Hey Kyle, can you recommend a couple tires for my bike and style of riding. I’m 67 years old and upon retirement I purchased a new 2021 Honda CRF 250L to ride the backcountry paved roads in WV and PA. My riding is 80% blacktop (unlined roads) and 20% gravel. I do NO single track (mud) riding on this bike. The stock IRC’s have worked fine but was wondering if there is something else I should consider. I still have the original tires on it with about 4300 miles so it’s time for a new tire on the rear for sure. I appreciate your feedback and recommendations.

[@manybikes]

Living the dream it sounds like. Cruising a CRF250L around the backcountry... AWESOME. On your bike I really like the Motoz Dual Venture tire in the front and the Motoz RallZ tire in the rear. GREAT traction everywhere and they will outlast your OEM tires by 2x I'd imagine.

[@mikegillespie266]

@@manybikes Thanks!

[@DucNgn]

Now since there's milimeter, could you also talk kilogram? Many thanks

[@manybikes]

Ha! Ha! Yeah... I should probably incorporate that too ;) Thanks for the suggestions.

[@mikeogden5256]

Will any fit the 883 sportster?

[@manybikes]

Thanks for watching! What are your wheels sizes?

[@mikeogden5256]

@@manybikes The tyre size of Harley Davidson Iron 883 is 100/90-B19 Rear :-150/80-B16.

[@1LTNOE]

Great vid. Do a 80/20 video as well. I'm riding a KTM 1290 Super Adventure S and have Pirelli Scorpion Rally STR on right now, but I'm really in doubt what to put on next. Not a big off road guy, but would like really good grip on the tarmac, but be able to tackle a gravel road as well. PS: Getting Motoz in norther Europe is almost impossible!

[@manybikes]

Thank you for your support. I hear from my friends that Motoz is TOUGH to get in Canada and Europe. That is a bummer. Thank you for the 80/20 suggestion. I need to order all of them in ... and will make it happen. My personal favorites when it comes to 80/20 tires is the Metzeler Karoo Street, Continental TKC70 Rocks, Michelin Anakee Adventure and the Bridgestone A41S. Thanks for watching!

[@74DOOMBUG]

Hey Kyle, Now a year later with out of stock or whatever is going on with the front tire for the Motoz adventure what do you recommend? Thanks!!

[@manybikes]

The Dual Venture is the way to go! I’ve got them in-stock.

[@joemcmenamin4906]

i am asking about the motoz tiers for the Adeventure. i have a ktm 390 adventure 2022. due the motoz adventure tire make hwy noise like a knobby? i live i nj and the pines have some wicket sand.so i need a tire for street and the trails. are these the tires for this application

[@manybikes]

I prefer the RallZ rear and Dual Venture front for you application. Deeper tread blocks with more void between them. The are quite on the bikes I have run them on.

[@ignacioolivares6772]

On my adventure bike, for an all day purpouse like go to work and do so stuff on the city, and on the weekend go to offroad days (not too muddy or sandy) and some days of twisty roads, what you will recomend?, i know is a complex question thanks for the video

[@manybikes]

The Motoz RallZ in the rear and the Dual Venture front is what I really like for that combo. If you want more street the GPS or Mission tires are great too!

[@579aragon]

Hi Kyle, What is the best tires for an Honda CRF 300 Rally to ride the TAT? Thank you

[@manybikes]

Motoz RallZ for sure! Check them out here: manybikes.company.site/products/MOTOZ-TRACTIONATOR-RALLZ-p581779751

[@williameakins2204]

How about the Mitas E07 rear? You never seem to review that tire. Many are seeing 8000+ miles with great 50/50 grip.

[@manybikes]

It’s more aggressive than an 80/20 … probably a 70/30 … but not a 50/50+ like these. That’s my reasoning.

[@riffraff8426]

Hi Kyle, I’m about to buy a triumph 900 Rally Pro. I will be riding road and trail 70% road. Can you assist me with the most suitable set of tyres for me please. My head is spinning from the tyres on offer. Trails for me would include, fire trails, farm tracks, rocks and sand, also creek crossings.

[@manybikes]

The Bridgestone AX41 tires are my favorite “street knobbie” But they wear out really fast. The Motoz RallZ is my favorite longest lasting still amazing in the dirt set. Total longevity the Motoz GPS is it…

[@tecdive8045]

TKC-70 front vs Motoz GPS front: which is better off-road?

[@manybikes]

The GPS front is much better than the TKC70 but I would run the TrailMax Mission front of the three. Bigger grooves and more leading edges to bite.

[@KimBennett-ni9jf]

What frt tire would wrk best w/tkc70 rear have good curved rd traction and mud / dirt off rd on a 2022 ktm 1290 r.

[@manybikes]

I think the most appropriate match for the TKC70 Rocks is either the Dunlop TrailMax Mission or the Bridgestone AX41. Depending on level of dirtiness you desire of course.

[@artieshell9205]

Looking for the continental tkc 80 for a 15” rim. Anything???

[@manybikes]

Nope… nada for a 15” wheel
