My Tenere 700 tyres reviewed

[@mohamedhassissi5414]

"opinions are like farts" 😂😂 the best analogy I've heard in a long time! Great review man! Thank you!

[@NomadSweden]

Actually "speed" in swedish is spelled "fart", and "impact" is spelled "smäll" (pronounced smell) So there is a saying that goes "It's not the speed that kills, it's the impact". Swedes often make fun of that saying the swedish words instead..

[@alcesspectre]

Haha yeah. Came for the tire review, stayed for the fart joke.

I mounted Mitas E09 Dakar in the rear and Mitas E13 Rally Star in the front for this season here in Sweden and love that combination.

[@francescospagna5643]

What mileage from e13?

[@johnandersson]

@@francescospagna5643 I haven’t ridden them more than maybe 500km last season. I cannot say based on my experience. I ride a heavy bike and they provide great grip off road.

[@gordonblackley8863]

AX41, try them and fall in love 😻 I too have tried many tyres and these are by far the best 50:50 on the road, wet, dry, hot and cold they stick like shit to a blanket on road, still as good as any 50:50 off road yet I got 10,000km from a rear, a 140 on my 1200gs with narrow rims fitted. I had previously tried: Karoo 2 Karoo 3 Anakee Wild STRs

[@NomadSweden]

Thanks. Sounds like worth a try

[@elgeffe503]

Are they any good on wet roads?

[@Hallnadventure]

@@elgeffe503I have been running the AX41 tires on my adventure motos for the past 2years. They have been very good in the rain both on pavement and wet muddy forest roads. They also are very predictable on twisty dry pavement. I have run the AX41 on a 1250gsa, 850gsa and 310gs. I bought a T700 last week, I’m gonna order a set for my T7 today.

[@NomadSweden]

Tackar 😊

[@richardsprings1414]

Thank you for your in-depth review of tires

[@alwynallan]

Thanks for the observations. I like Tractionator Adventure for difficult off-road but they're noisy on asphalt, heavy, difficult to get of and on in the field, and they don't last through a trip if it's 10000 km or more. I like Dunlop Trailmax Mission for the longer trips, but they're not grippy in mud or sand. I'm hoping the new Dunlop Trailmax RAID coming out this year will hit the sweet spot between them.

[@davidbailey4630]

Very interesting, thanks. Paid time - is the best.... I love it!

[@seanholland9576]

I’ve just fitted a Mitas E12 rear and C21 Stoneking for Morocco in 2 weeks on my World Raid. I used a Rabaconda to make life easy but in the wilderness and heat the E12 would be a fight to remove and refit.

[@pastrie42]

You are doing the lord's work. This was very helpful to me in assessing my options. I was overwhelmed.

[@NomadSweden]

Thank you. Tyre chopice is a jungle :)

[@JohannesDalenMC]

I completely agree - get a set of tyres that will help you the most when you need it the most. On the street there’s a speed limit you probably should follow anyways. You’ll wear your off road tyres quicker (vs street tyres) and will be more expensive, but in return you’ll become one hell of a tyre changer!

[@NomadSweden]

👊🏻✊🏻

[@carlswanson5114]

I agree with the Stock pirellis great on pavement and packed gravel. I have 8000km on mine and have a Mitas E07+ to replace them which i find great on loose gravel and highway. i am tempted to try the Motoz Adventure next time around. Loving my T7 . Having a lot of fun on this bike.

[@barendfourie6687]

Just got me a klr650 and started looking at tires to replace the stock tires and this is mind blowing ones you started your research. I'm in 62 and looking for something that can handle the ok,ak ,mo,ks conditions for a puts rider that dont want the tires to fail me on mountain roads in summer wet conditions. Seems mud is the struggle and too many choices. Great video thks.

[@clukait]

Thank you for your choice of tires for the Tenere and your opinion on them. The Motoz would be a shortlist to try but it's difficult to get tires here in Germany at the moment. Unnecessarily, the Motoz are not offered in Germany due to registration regulations. But that's just the way it is in a country where the color of your underpants will soon be prescribed for you.😉

[@NomadSweden]

Haha yes Germany is tough on all the laws.

[@tshansen]

You should try to par the mitas e-09 rear with the tkc80 front 🔥 I don't understand the front e-09 myself. It is so wrong in so many ways (IMO) Great Comparison. I was so sick and tired of reading about peoples opinions online on different forums I just had to start trying for my self. What style, bike, luggage, trip etc are just as important as the surface you are riding on when you find what tires works best for you. Nice to hear you opinion on the tires you have tried. Thank you Robert

[@NomadSweden]

Thanks buddy!

[@actstuntcam]

Yep getting to that point. It is so hard to get advice because of different riding styles, needs, locations and climates... All the different opinions get confusing. Just so many variables.

[@966silverfox]

Seen this video couple of times. Excellent. Really. Not only the tyre reviews but the points you make at the end…

[@NomadSweden]

Thank you 🙏

[@PRodent]

I love the Motoz Rallz tires on my KTM 690 enduro.

[@robsonenduro3316]

Mitas E09 front is maybe 50/50 but rear tyre is more like 70% off-road tyre, really very good tyre. You don't have to match front and rear. On front I use Dunlop D908RR, it's perfect tyre for this.

[@22fret]

Really nice and informative review. I might try one of these on my T700 one day, but to be honest, I'm a die-hard fan of Heidenau's K60 Scout. For what I do they are just perfect. Excellent on dry roads, in the twisties I'm even able to get my panniers down to the road surface. 😂 They give me a feeling of safety in the wet, they are quite decent offroad, as long as it doesn't get too muddy. And what's quite important to me: their immense longevity. My set of Scorpion Rally STR already lasted for 21.155 kms, I expect the Scouts to reach that, too...

[@mikefletcher6595]

New riders tend to underestimate the importance of tyres, they think the ratio, so say a 50/50, relates to how much time they spend on or off road, but realistically it represents how much grip you get - so really a 50/50 tyre is only giving you 50% of the grip you actually need. I've come from motocross to adv bikes and just baffled with the whole tyre thing with adv bikes, most bikes I see offload are just under gripped and gonna struggle if the going gets tough. This is a great video and explanation tho of what to look for and expect from a tyre. Went to the Adv Bike Festival in England recently and was disappointed in the speakers they had, they were more media lovies than actual proper adv riders, and only Bridgestone had a tyre stand. Perhaps that was a covid thing, I know Revit couldn't get because of restrictions, but there should be more talk and emphasis on tyres, it is the only bit that makes contact with the dirt. Great vid - thanks

[@NomadSweden]

Thanks. Great input!

[@richardsprings1414]

Thank you I'm coming off of motocross as a child to an ADV bike in my 50s I have the Africa to ran and I totally understand what you mean by grip with a big bike off-road

[@roadsweride_pt]

I’ve just had in my triumph scrambler 1200xc for the past 12.000km the motoz tractionator adventure (front) and rallz (back) and they worked so good offroad!! On road they are ok but super noisy hehe

[@Joe-fi4hv]

How does the Motoz Adventure front do on the street. You mentioned that it's noisy, but how does it track? Does it wobble? Would you buy it again? I need more grip off road, but I also do a lot of city commuting.

[@mattpreece5112]

[@richardnowels]

I've got a set of MotoZ Tractionator Adventure rear and will mate it with a Dual Venture knobby for my next ride. My usual go to is the TKC80. The best wet road tire in a knobby I've found. I tried the Dunlop 908 Rally Raid and found them slick. Nice in the desert we ride here, but on a wet road they were scary. I did like the Golden Tyre 723's I used. Expensive and harder to find, but good tires. One of my criteria for tires is easy of dismounting them by hand. Out not he trail I don't want to be fighting a Dunlop super stiff sidewall. But, I'm riding a KTM 990R with nearly 90,000 miles on it. There also tends to be around 800 miles of high speed interstate between the beach and where I meet up with friends to ride. So, I need longevity, wet roads and dirt capability. I am really enjoying your videos of Sweden and Europe. I found these while looking at T700 videos for a friend who is/was searching for an adventure bike. And being a little bit Swedish in my DNA, curious about the country and riding life there.

[@NomadSweden]

Thank for sharing 🙏

[@coconuciferanuts339]

Thanks for tyre review but I think the best tyre for me is the Pirelli scorpion rally strs.' Depends how much agressive off-road use but as an 80/20 they are no.1.

[@NomadSweden]

Great! We all have our favorites that suits our style.

[@allenhuling598]

Great info as always, Robert, thank you! Amazing to me that you have already tried that many different tires in only 30,000 kms, I tend to think that I have to completely wear a set out before trying something new! When I am ready for a new set, I will be probably bethinking about a set of the Mitas E-07 Plus, maybe later this Summer! Cheers!

[@NomadSweden]

Cheers!

[@adamsjoberrg]

The E-07 is great. Have a second rear on my 950 now :) Good lifespan and great on asphalt and gravel, but misses a little extra when the going gets rough in the woods, soft sand etc.

[@allenhuling598]

[@eugrules]

Great review. I like the motoz tractionator rear, and Golden Tyre GT216AA 90/100 so far I like this combo. The Motoz will always be on the back for me.

[@NomadSweden]

Motoz adv is a great tyre for sure. Riding calm on our long trip I got 12.000 km out of it which is insane for a knobby tyre. But now it's getting cold in Sweden and then this tyre is very slippery so I use it in warm conditions.

[@OrestisTrips]

Really useful comparison. Thanks for sharing.

[@randersson3672]

Some people like to run the same brand and model front/back, it's easier to get it the way you want by mixing...but all farts are different 😁

[@BladeRicsi]

Nice work Robert. I have an another video suggestion, related to the tyres, this is: How to handle the puncture on the field? Especially with tubed tyres.

[@NomadSweden]

I have not done that yet thankfully😊 but perhaps on the upcoming trip

[@mariusblom]

Thanks I really appreciate you sharing this information !

[@ea4326]

Helpful! Thanks a bunch! I guess that a good MTB rider knows how important grip is huh? Good choices man! I’ll be looking out for the long tour combo you mentioned. I’d try modifying them slightly with an ultrasonic cutter to find grip and stability. Thanks!

[@justsomedude445]

i was running TKC80 fronts and Mitas E07 rears until recently when both became all but impossible to get so i tried the Motoz Tractionator Adv and i think i have a new 'go to' combo here as well , so far only 600-700 miles on em im liking them , rear TKC80's are shot at 800-1000 miles these are barely showing wear so life looks like it could be long

[@The333]

This was great - I know from watching you that you are a bit of a tire connoisseur and I am glad to see such a great review on the MotoZ Tractionator ADV. Just put the rear on my bike combined with an Anakee Wild on the front and I love the mix.

[@actstuntcam]

Was thinking of putting a Tractionator GPS on the Rear with an Annakee wild front. What you riding? How are you riding? Terrain etc. Be really interested to hear your thoughts. I'm on a 2016 Africa Twin. I'm still on the standard tyres (Which are knackered) and need a more 50/50 set.

[@The333]

@@actstuntcam I am on a 2021 T7 - so far I love the combination. Both tires bite nicely off road and feel really planted. On road, they handle great - the rear starts to get slightly warbly at speeds above 80, but nothing scary, just how you would expect an offroad tire to feel on the freeway. I love the set up so far for road and off road. I am a novice, so mostly fireroads and doubletrack (bit of water and mud and some deep sand).

[@campbellrousselle9752]

Thank you for this great review. You're the first one to talk about the front tyre's performance. I'm looking for a front tire for my Versys x 300 (baby T700). 19" is hard to find. The closest to what I need is the e-09 but out of stock and expensive. The Shinko e-804 big block but am not confident in that one. I do 90% of my riding off road. I have a Mitas e-07 up front now but it needs to go. Too sketchy. So the search goes on.

[@BalefulBunyip]

Motoz Tractionator tyres are designed by an Australian company for Australian conditions. This might explain their robustness and why they would work better in a hotter climate. I have them on my Africa Twin and they are a great tyre if you want to do three thousand km of sand and dirt roads with occasional forays into the blacktop. Like I did last summer.

Nice review..although opinions differ, I have similar ones, especially the 50/50 tire as a minimum. I also like the E09, good bang for the buck, try a C17 or C21 on the front if you want lots of grip off road. We can almost buy 2 mitas tires for the price of 1 Motoz in Canada. I do like the Motoz however, desert H/T. You get incredible mileage. I'm wearing them out by 3000km but lots of offroad and dirtroads which chew them up quickly.

[@searchingfor6thgear44]

Thanks for this practical review, although I have to disagree... mine are the only ones that don't stink! We have similar philosophies on tires (tyres), get the best tire for the terrain that challenges your skills the most. I'm on a KTM 690 Enduro. MT 21 front MotOz RallZ rear. Switched from the Heidenau K60 rear (did not like that tire at all). Of course, this combination of tires roars as I go down the road and you can watch the handle bars bounce up and down just rolling the bike around the garage. I appreciate your review of the Tractionator Adventure, that may be my Transamerica Trail tire of choice (at least for Atlantic to Colorado, maybe more). Thanks again!

[@NomadSweden]

Thanks buddy!

[@francescospagna5643]

What mileage from mt21 front?

[@Advcrazy]

You should try the pirelli scorpion front some time. I think it’s quite amazing. Awesome grip and predictability off road. But even o. The road I’ve found it to be perfectly stable up to 130kph, doesn’t wobble in corners. I’ve only ridden it on cold wet (norwegian) roads once but even then it was fine. Ofc I want riding it like an idiot in the wet. But if you want to have fun off road on a big Adv it’s the best I’ve tried short of a proper motorcross tyre. Michelin’s desert front is also great but don’t think it’s as stable on the road or in tye wet.

[@OFFroadOFFcourse]

@@HF_lol the Michelin Anakee Wild are a very good choice in my opinion. The rear one doesnt last very long usually but the performance is there. Best 50-50 tire out there (or maybe its more like a 65-35 (offroad-onroad). I love them. A little more on the 50-50 side maybe you could try the Mitas e07+, they are quite good as well, specially for the summer where rain isnt such a big issue ;)

[@RidetheBean]

Interesting video! Good to hear the comparison between the different ones. Tires are always a confusing thing 😅 Any experience with the Mitas E-07+? I just ordered them 🤞

[@NomadSweden]

Thanks! I hear the E07 are terrible! No just kidding. Stefan and Tony ran the E07s and they love them for touring with light offroad.

[@andersa4667]

They are quite durable. On tarmac: expect good performance and grip. Not too much noise and good braking also in rain. Gravel: Ok grip for accleration, less so for sideway movements. Mud: Hopeless. I would call them 60% road, 40% dirt. If you ride mostly on tarmac and slowish on gravel expect 12k+ km on the back. I can recommend a TCK80 front, I have no experience with an E07+ front.

[@adamsjoberrg]

Good life-span. Where TKC80s just burn away in 2000km, the Mitas goes for at least 5000 km. Ofc that's when spinning the rear as much as you can everywhere. So if you don't do that surely they will last you longer. Great for asphalt and gravel, worse for rough off road.

[@deanminiken]

Hey Robert, great video, thanks. Would've been nice to hear your thoughts on the pressures you ran. Some say run a certain type with high pressure, whilst someone will say run them low. I'd like your thoughts on those tyres you presented and actual pressures used. Any chance you could add that commentary to any future tyre talk please?

[@NomadSweden]

I haven't experientet that much with pressures and I don't change pressure depending on terrain. But I usually go a bit lower than what the manual says. 26-29 psi in front and about 31 psi in the rear. It gives a good compromise.

[@andrea_weekenduae6058]

Hi Robert, thank you for the informative video. I need your advice. I'm planning to do the ACT Portugal next year. As I'm from the NL and need to cover some miles I will also do some onroad. Which tire do you recommend? The Motoz Traction Adv or Mitas E13/E12? Also taken in consideration that I want a tire which is less prone to punctures and what kind of inner tube do you recommend normal or HD tubes? Krgds Ray

[@NomadSweden]

I would personally go on Motoz. They make me feel most secure, have good traction and last forever. I have 12.000 km on mine now and they have still rubber left. They cost more, but you get more. I have 2mm thick tubes in mine now, but 4mm works too. Be sure to use chalk or slime inside the tyre with Motoz if you have tubes. My Motoz dealer recommends it.

Hi Robert, another great video, thanks, im off to Spain/France for a trip across the Pyrenees in September taking in Paved Roads, ACT and a little TET, I have the stock Scorpion Rally STR and like them for road, but as you said if it off road and wet they are not great. Not being an expert in tyres is there specific tube tyre models and if so how do you know.

[@NomadSweden]

Just know that with tubes you can buy any tyre, both tubeless or tubed. Just put the tube in there. Normally tubeless has TL marking and Tubed Tyres are TT.

[@Getting-On]

@@NomadSweden Thanks Robert, every day is a learning day.

[@skiphalbakken859]

I think I’m going to go with the motoz on my T7. First time replacing tires.

[@NomadSweden]

Good choice

[@skiphalbakken859]

@@NomadSweden What size do you run? The 140/80 are 100.00 dollars cheaper than the 150/70 in🇺🇸. I didn’t know if it makes a big difference, thanks

[@bonker_fella]

Umpa poompa strikes again! Good video!

[@chrisparker5435]

Entertaining review as always Robert. Have you tried the 140 wide (tubed) Motoz Tractionator on your T7? Just wondering if it would be ok on such a wide rear rim but I’m tempted as it’s a ton cheaper that the 150 tubeless version.

[@NomadSweden]

I havent tried the 140 size Motoz, but I am sure they will work just as good as the Mitas 140 size. Yes you save a lot so it's worth it for sure.

[@krede99]

Right now I'm running a 120 Mitas C-02 on my T7, works fine with a tube in it. I am pretty sure you will not notice any difference between a 140 and 150 tire

[@houjous5131]

What do you suggest for cold season riding? I'm looking at the mitas e07+'s or the e10's. I was looking at the tractionator's adventure or gps but they are both harder rubber.

[@NomadSweden]

Yes Motoz get really slippery when cold. Mitas is a good choice and I like to use it in the cold/wet. Softer rubber, better grip.

[@MrAhell]

Try the E13 front and Dunlop D908rr. I love it on my 640 adv.

[@NomadSweden]

Tried them both but never together. Sounds like a great combo.

[@elgeffe503]

Thanks for the video! Was wondering how the Mitas E12/13's perform on wet roads? And can you reuse the original tubes the T7 came with? Thanks again

[@NomadSweden]

They work well on wet roads because they are quite soft. I use 2mm thick tubes because the oem tubes were not for offroad. Very thin

[@elgeffe503]

@@NomadSweden Thanks a lot for the quick reply and info! Gonna give the Mitas with some thicker inner tubes a try then

[@tHaH4x0r]

What you didn't mention with for example the Motoz Tractionator, but what I would expect with such a heavy tire, is that it would affect the handling on the road. Because the tires spin they have significant gyroscopic effect, thus the heavier the tire itself, the more it can slow down turn in speed. Of course not so relevant off-road, but on tarmac I can imagine it matters. Did you find this with the tires you tested as well, or is it somewhat insignificant?

[@NomadSweden]

Totally insignificant for this kind of tyre and not noticable for normal adv riding.

[@tHaH4x0r]

@@NomadSweden That's great information, thanks for the quick reply!

[@christophelajouanie2546]

Hello, great review, thank you! I have one question: on the MITAS catalogue they say that the E12 rally star is for 3,5 inches rim (with a window between 2,75 and 3,75). Was it no problem with the 4 inches rim of the Tenere? Thank you! Christophe

[@NomadSweden]

No problem at all, and I will get them again for sure.

[@christophelajouanie2546]

@@NomadSweden Thank you, will order a pair and give it a try! Cheers

[@billcollins9058]

Hi Rob great tyre review. I run the the motoz tractionator rallz on my t7 i have 5000km on them, great all-rounder for here,sand, rocks, mud. I don't push them too hard on wet ashfeltroad. Cheers

[@NomadSweden]

I have a set of Rallz in the shed and will try them after the trip 👍🏻

[@miclinda256]

Also have rallz om My t7 and they are Magic! 💪💪

[@andreaslindstrom377]

Tack för att du delar dina erfarenheter! Funderar på att köpa ett par Motoz Adventure till min T7:a. Vilka exakta dimensioner använder du fram och bak?

[@NomadSweden]

Bra val :) På Teneren har du många val. Backdäck: Det viktigaste är 18" såklart, men sen kan du välja både 150 eller 140-bredd (resten av siffrorna kvittar). Du kan välja både TT och TL-däck. Oftast är TT-däcken i 140-bredd och TL-däcken är oftast 150. För framdäck är det 21" och 90/90. TT eller TL spelar ingen roll. På TL blir det alltså, 150/70B18 TL + 90/90 - 21 TL På TT blir det 140/80-18 TT + 90/90 - 21 TT

[@fedeborsello5926]

Hi! I saw that recently you tried Michelin tracker? How did you like it in comparison? Do they run tubeless?

[@NomadSweden]

Hi. Yes I really like them but it's not an allround tyre. Asphalt works but they wear fast and sound like a diving Stuka. Not sure if they have TL version. I have TT.

[@beddccom]

I'm thinking of putting a GPS motoz tire on the rear wheel and the Adventure motoz on the front. I think the GPS front tire is not aggressive enough.

[@raymondcerneus1844]

Hi Marcin, I was thinking about the same setup. How are your findings with this setup?

[@mulisha0351]

I prefer the pirelli scorpion rally front paired with 908rr rear

[@Dontortellini3]

Hello, could you tell me which rear tire provides more forward traction, please: the mitas e09 or the Motoz Adventure? Thank you

[@NomadSweden]

Not sure actually. In the dirt they are the same pretty much. On tarmac Mitas is better, but Motoz has more mileage.

[@hovishill2779]

IMHF, its time you put some Bridgestone AX 41’s on 😉😄.

[@thomasrosenwirth7035]

Try the MotoZ RallZ and Desert H/T, you specially might like the RallZ over the Adv.

[@NomadSweden]

I have the rallz but for 8000 km the adv is perfect

[@thomasrosenwirth7035]

@@NomadSweden Agree, Adv will take you further, Rallz has better traction

[@henrikwest9771]

I have a Tenere as well but Motoz write about the Adventure: NOTE: Tube Tyre Tractionator Adventure are specifically designed for single seat enduro class bikes (typically single cyclinder, single seat bikes), where riders want to cover long distance/adventure (don’t use light weight Tube Type on large multi cylinder adventure class bikes). Does that mean they are not for the Tenere??

[@NomadSweden]

I use the tubeless tyres with a tube. I would use tube tyres as well.

[@henrikwest9771]

@@NomadSweden mange tack for svar!

[@Slapsamillion]

What do you mean when you say "not the best for twistys"? (Tractionators) Those look like they have a lot of rubber contact. Is it just that they are so hard, they warm up slow? They look like they would be really smooth on the road for what you would also be getting on the dirt. I'm coming up on replacing the stock pirelli scorpion's. I was thinking those Tractionators look pretty good for how I would use them(I think very similar to you; 80/20, mostly road...but I do enjoy offroad occassionally and don't want to be severely compromised when I do). Was also considering maybe getting 2 sets for different types of usage.

[@NomadSweden]

I just came back from 8000km trip on the tractionators in warm climate and they still have many miles left. They're awesome. It's just in the colder season in Sweden that they stay hard and slippery all the time. For long trips I use them as No1. But at home I like to use something softer.
