Have ran these tires about 8000miles now on the second set of course great all-around Tire as long as it's not muddy or wet. Use them on a 500 lb dual sport motorcycle about 15% of the time was gravel roads back roads or off-road pretty solid 6,000 mile Tire unless you do a lot of off-roading
Agree. I ended up getting a flat and rode 20mi on 0 PSI. Never unseated but since I ran them so hot I’m going to replace for safety purposes. I’m trying E-07 now just b/c I’ll be doing a little more off-road.
I ride Mfr PSI, so 36 front, 42 rear. If I know I'm going to ride soft ground for a while before I hit pavement again, I'll drop the PSI by 5, but no more than that. This is because I ride a big bike (460lbs dry weight), so with gear I don't want to go too low. I know many who drop their PSI a lot, and sure, the ride feels better, but I've seen more flats from buddies who dropped their PSI too much. Check the Mfr recommended PSI for your bike!
Agree. I since moved to the Mitas E-07 and those are much better for BDR than missions, however, I’m going to be doing the New Mexico BDR this year and will be upgrading to 30/70 tires.

Ran a set on the Idaho BDR and did not like them at all. Motoz much much better.
