Tyres - Trailwings or MT21s?
My Tenere is fitted with Bridgestone Trailwings which would have done around 2500 - 3000 miles before I set off round South America. I'm expecting the roads out there to be dirt track 'ripio' stuff and maybe some mud in Bolivia and Southern Brazil, although this will be a LOT later in my trip approx 5000 miles into it. So maybe a new set of tyres will have to have been fitted by then anyway.
So my questions is: what are trailwings like on mixed stuff? I've got them on now to do a load of road miles so that I can run the engine in after a rebuild. Chris Scott says to put on Pirelli MT21s and 'be done'. Can anyone shed more light on a decent tyre for all round use which lasts a long time?
