I tried metzeler enduro 3 sahara as a change. It's been 11000 kms but the rear tire seems it can make it up to some 14000 km. Though pretty expensive, it is a relief for dual purpose riding. My scoring would be 8/10 for tarmac and 8/10 for dirt. Keep in mind that this is a +300 kg bike fully loaded and with the rider on. So, no tire will be perfect enough for dirt riding anyway. I think enduro3 is as good as it gets.

Have a good week young man, you can enjoy all that Scotland offers without the B%*$y midges:nono: i may be changing me kle don't know yet, see how the pennys 'n' heart pan out:(

I've had my KLE since for just on six months and I'll be due for a new rear tyre very soon (7500k on the original Dunlops). The front looks like it will run another 5000 so this time it will be just one for the rear. I have no complaints with these so far. Most of the riding is commuting so I have the dreaded flat spot in the middle.

I am thinking of going with the Michelin Anakee when I change both as I have read excellent reports on their performance. From what I have read the added cost will be repaid by the additional wear. One thing concerning me is that I think I read that the Anakee may be a tubeless tyre. I can't see it mentioned on their website. Is this correct?

Has anyone had experience with the Anakee on a KLE, or anything other bike?

Afterthought: What would happen with an Anakee on the rear and a Trailmax on the front?

Hay!

I have Anakee on my KLE for cca 4000 km, before that I had original dunlop trailmax. I`m very satisfied with anakee tires, they have very good grip and they are also very good in rain. I drive mostly on tarmac.

Regards.
