Versys 1000 tyres
 

Hi,

Need some advice what tyres for my Versys 1000 so that i can manage to ride Central Asia and Pamir?

Need good 70:30 or 80:20 tyre with long life.

Any suggestions?

I will be outfitting my own Versys 1000LT with more dirt-oriented tires at some point and would love to see anyone else's recommendations if they have actually tried something.
Having as much power and speed as the Versys does, I am considering a sprocket change to allow better low speed manners while picking the way through mildly rocky trails, etc. I fear that nothing will actually make this bike civilized enough for off-road duty so a trade for a well-sorted and more appropriate machine might be in the future.

I really loved my TKC 70's on my VX-300. Lasted over 20k /km and still had life left when I changed them. Keep in mind that my bike is a lot lighter than the Versys 1000.

Handling is excellent on tarmac. Good on gravel. And ok for off road. They can not handle "real off road" like muddy trails or rocky mountain slopes, for that I would go with a 50/50 tyre. (Mitas-07 is what I'd recommend)
