Earache Posted June 5, 2020 Share Posted June 5, 2020 Has anyone tried these yet? I just a set spooned onto the Super Tenere yesterday - hoping they do well. What sucked me in was the tread depth; which I, rightfully or wrongfully, equate to tire life. Front has a depth of 8.5mm and the rear has 11.250 mm tread depth. Seemed to be a bit deeper than some ofthe other on/off road tires. Price was acceptable to me at $139 front and $169 rear. So now we wait and see what they're like.

XTreme Posted June 5, 2020 Share Posted June 5, 2020 Never used them......they're a 50/50 tyre I think? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They sell them as 50/50 but I'd believe they're more like a 80/20 leaning towards street use more. Felt really odd on the freeway coming home last night - wandering a bit off of a straight line. But that could have been my suspect riding skills or the fact that they're a new tire I'm not used to. Bit of a humm from the front at 40-50 mph, but that's expected.

Dave in the marketing department probably throws a dart at a board or something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sir Fallsalot Posted June 5, 2020 Share Posted June 5, 2020 I don't think they are available in the UK yet, i have read some good reports on them and i would fit them on looks alone LOL 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've always had Tourances on my GS - they were a great road tire, but not so much off road. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pedro Posted June 5, 2020 Share Posted June 5, 2020 Next time I want to fit some 70/30 or 50/50 I might go for MotoZ, these look to be a little bit less roady than my TKC70, being Dunlops they will probably smooth and safe on road 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pedro Posted January 15, 2021 Share Posted January 15, 2021 But is it like a generic term to identify a 50/50 tire, or like a trademark thread design? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Catteeclan Posted January 15, 2021 Share Posted January 15, 2021 Just had a quick look on google myself Yes it was the cats paw tyres on my XL. That had a 23 inch front wheel and at the time you couldn't get much else. Can't remember who made them as what you see now are copies. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
