"opinions are like farts" 😂😂 the best analogy I've heard in a long time! Great review man! Thank you!

Thank you for your in-depth review of tires

Thanks for sharing your experience, Robert. I'm on Mitas E-07 Dakar and will continue until their end. Enjoy the summer and safe rides 💙💛🏁🤛🏼

Thanks for sharing your experience, Robert. Günter from Nürnberg/Germany

Really useful comparison. Thanks for sharing.

A great video, love to have a collection of tyres like you have , Thanks for sharing

Great reviews thanks for sharing 👌 Steven

Great review! 👍.. Really close to my own experience with mitas tyres!.. Thanks mate 🍺👍

Great review, great video, thanks for sharing! And last minute was hilarious! 😂

Seen this video couple of times. Excellent. Really. Not only the tyre reviews but the points you make at the end…

Helpful! Thanks a bunch! I guess that a good MTB rider knows how important grip is huh? Good choices man! I’ll be looking out for the long tour combo you mentioned. I’d try modifying them slightly with an ultrasonic cutter to find grip and stability. Thanks!

Excellent review! Thank you 👍👍

Thanks I really appreciate you sharing this information !

Mycket intressant. Stort tack för övrigt för det första KZfaqklipp både jag och damen såg två gånger - Skog 2022. Det var en pärla!!! Så tjusigt redigerat. Ha det☀️😀👍

Very interesting, thanks. Paid time - is the best.... I love it!

You are doing the lord's work. This was very helpful to me in assessing my options. I was overwhelmed.

I agree with the Stock pirellis great on pavement and packed gravel. I have 8000km on mine and have a Mitas E07+ to replace them which i find great on loose gravel and highway. i am tempted to try the Motoz Adventure next time around. Loving my T7 . Having a lot of fun on this bike.

Awesome Video!! You are the man! 😃😃

Great review, I never thought about that with opinions, but it makes sense 😂

Just got me a klr650 and started looking at tires to replace the stock tires and this is mind blowing ones you started your research. I'm in 62 and looking for something that can handle the ok,ak ,mo,ks conditions for a puts rider that dont want the tires to fail me on mountain roads in summer wet conditions. Seems mud is the struggle and too many choices. Great video thks.

Love the Motoz, i have a set on my Himalayan... so good👌

Thanks for the observations. I like Tractionator Adventure for difficult off-road but they're noisy on asphalt, heavy, difficult to get of and on in the field, and they don't last through a trip if it's 10000 km or more. I like Dunlop Trailmax Mission for the longer trips, but they're not grippy in mud or sand. I'm hoping the new Dunlop Trailmax RAID coming out this year will hit the sweet spot between them.

Thanks 👍 for sharing with us!! Will consider the information for my future trips!!) Nice review!! Now i have the Pirelli scorpion mt90 on my bike,but they are mostly for asphalt roads.... When it's wet outside, somewhere on the backroads...the grip is really poor.

Thanks for sharing your opinion ... I'm on stock tyres and considering changing. Your video is a nice guide. Greeting from Belgium.

Nice pannier racks. Good tyre review helped me with the decision for my tiger 900.

great stuff mate, thanks

Really nice and informative review. I might try one of these on my T700 one day, but to be honest, I'm a die-hard fan of Heidenau's K60 Scout. For what I do they are just perfect. Excellent on dry roads, in the twisties I'm even able to get my panniers down to the road surface. 😂 They give me a feeling of safety in the wet, they are quite decent offroad, as long as it doesn't get too muddy. And what's quite important to me: their immense longevity. My set of Scorpion Rally STR already lasted for 21.155 kms, I expect the Scouts to reach that, too...

Like your bike and vast adventure experience. Wait, that's amazing and soo educational. I wish I could get your tyres I have rear120/80/18, and 21" front.

I mounted Mitas E09 Dakar in the rear and Mitas E13 Rally Star in the front for this season here in Sweden and love that combination.

Nice review! 👍🤙💪

Great info. Thanks! When the factory supplied 80/20 Metzlers wear out, I'm going to try 50/50 Shinko tires, preferably purchased in the winter when they're cheaper and readily available. I tend to buy motorcycle stuff in the winter and use it in the summer.

Thx for your opinion. You should try the Heidenau Scout K60 for long trips, you can go very far with this tyres, they are cheap and have exelent grip even in cold conditions.

Great video! For me works best TKC80 front and E-09 Dakar on rear...on XRV. Front usually last 2 rears :)...E-07 Dakar (non + version)are great as well ...bit like MotoOz but cheaper.

Thanks for all the info on the tyres you've used! I think I'm going to try the Pirelli Scorpions (not STRs) next, they look very aggresive!

Great review. I like the motoz tractionator rear, and Golden Tyre GT216AA 90/100 so far I like this combo. The Motoz will always be on the back for me.

I love the Motoz Rallz tires on my KTM 690 enduro.

very good!!! my first Pirelli rear tyre lasted only 5000 km :D

That what I looking for! Many thanks for video, You save my time and money, to choose right tire for my AT. I have experience with E-09 and E-07 Mitas tire, and same like You I didn't satisfied with E-09 front tire. Rear tyre have very good grip. For this reason I wont try E-13 + E-09 combo set. E-12 have not so big difference to change the 150 size to 140.

Mitas E09 front is maybe 50/50 but rear tyre is more like 70% off-road tyre, really very good tyre. You don't have to match front and rear. On front I use Dunlop D908RR, it's perfect tyre for this.

thank you.. this was excelent... great

i was running TKC80 fronts and Mitas E07 rears until recently when both became all but impossible to get so i tried the Motoz Tractionator Adv and i think i have a new 'go to' combo here as well , so far only 600-700 miles on em im liking them , rear TKC80's are shot at 800-1000 miles these are barely showing wear so life looks like it could be long

Great info as always, Robert, thank you! Amazing to me that you have already tried that many different tires in only 30,000 kms, I tend to think that I have to completely wear a set out before trying something new! When I am ready for a new set, I will be probably bethinking about a set of the Mitas E-07 Plus, maybe later this Summer! Cheers!

Excellent review of tires. Although, I don't ride a Tenere T700, you make some very good observations on tire tread, compound, and characteristics. I've come to learn that their is a price to pay for stiff and thick tire compounds like Motoz. Great tread wear, but the tires make the bike feel harsh. Great review.

Wow, informative. Tire videos are not my favorite, but this was perfect.

Hello Robert, I was wondering when you would presenting your tire experience as I saw in your previous videos different tires on your bike. Great summary with the tires I am interested in (E13/E12 & tractionator adv and Rallz) I saw in the comments that you will plan to ride the Rallz somewhere some how. Always enjoy the Nomad Sweden videos (learingful and funny). I assume (due to your comment, why you have the tractionator adv on your bike now) that you go for a longer trip. Hoping you share this with us. Have a good time and ride save. Jan (Netherlands)

Nice review..although opinions differ, I have similar ones, especially the 50/50 tire as a minimum. I also like the E09, good bang for the buck, try a C17 or C21 on the front if you want lots of grip off road. We can almost buy 2 mitas tires for the price of 1 Motoz in Canada. I do like the Motoz however, desert H/T. You get incredible mileage. I'm wearing them out by 3000km but lots of offroad and dirtroads which chew them up quickly.

Thanks gr8 video !

I completely agree - get a set of tyres that will help you the most when you need it the most. On the street there’s a speed limit you probably should follow anyways. You’ll wear your off road tyres quicker (vs street tyres) and will be more expensive, but in return you’ll become one hell of a tyre changer!

Thanks for your great review of all the different sets and combos. Great job. Do you have experience with the bridgestone battlax A41 or Heidenau Ranger - maybe on other bikes? Thanks and cheers

Brilliant review,thanks, you funny man ...And yes at work.

Nice work Robert. I have an another video suggestion, related to the tyres, this is: How to handle the puncture on the field? Especially with tubed tyres.

Thank you for this great review. You're the first one to talk about the front tyre's performance. I'm looking for a front tire for my Versys x 300 (baby T700). 19" is hard to find. The closest to what I need is the e-09 but out of stock and expensive. The Shinko e-804 big block but am not confident in that one. I do 90% of my riding off road. I have a Mitas e-07 up front now but it needs to go. Too sketchy. So the search goes on.

Hey Robert, great video, thanks. Would've been nice to hear your thoughts on the pressures you ran. Some say run a certain type with high pressure, whilst someone will say run them low. I'd like your thoughts on those tyres you presented and actual pressures used. Any chance you could add that commentary to any future tyre talk please?

You should try the pirelli scorpion front some time. I think it’s quite amazing. Awesome grip and predictability off road. But even o. The road I’ve found it to be perfectly stable up to 130kph, doesn’t wobble in corners. I’ve only ridden it on cold wet (norwegian) roads once but even then it was fine. Ofc I want riding it like an idiot in the wet. But if you want to have fun off road on a big Adv it’s the best I’ve tried short of a proper motorcross tyre. Michelin’s desert front is also great but don’t think it’s as stable on the road or in tye wet.

You should try to par the mitas e-09 rear with the tkc80 front 🔥 I don't understand the front e-09 myself. It is so wrong in so many ways (IMO) Great Comparison. I was so sick and tired of reading about peoples opinions online on different forums I just had to start trying for my self. What style, bike, luggage, trip etc are just as important as the surface you are riding on when you find what tires works best for you. Nice to hear you opinion on the tires you have tried. Thank you Robert

I have a rally coming up, so I'm going to try 140/80 & 90/90 MotoZ Enduro's. Found the Tractionator 150/80 was too slippy during my last rally, but then it did have nearly 8,000 miles on them...

I've got a set of MotoZ Tractionator Adventure rear and will mate it with a Dual Venture knobby for my next ride. My usual go to is the TKC80. The best wet road tire in a knobby I've found. I tried the Dunlop 908 Rally Raid and found them slick. Nice in the desert we ride here, but on a wet road they were scary. I did like the Golden Tyre 723's I used. Expensive and harder to find, but good tires. One of my criteria for tires is easy of dismounting them by hand. Out not he trail I don't want to be fighting a Dunlop super stiff sidewall. But, I'm riding a KTM 990R with nearly 90,000 miles on it. There also tends to be around 800 miles of high speed interstate between the beach and where I meet up with friends to ride. So, I need longevity, wet roads and dirt capability. I am really enjoying your videos of Sweden and Europe. I found these while looking at T700 videos for a friend who is/was searching for an adventure bike. And being a little bit Swedish in my DNA, curious about the country and riding life there.

Thank you!

Great info. E13 front is my new favourite. Somewhere between tkc 80 and mt21 bit lasts really well. Always found the e09 rear very good but a barstad to fit and remove.

I’ve just had in my triumph scrambler 1200xc for the past 12.000km the motoz tractionator adventure (front) and rallz (back) and they worked so good offroad!! On road they are ok but super noisy hehe

Robert thx mate, will keep this in my mind now, especially with the funny ending! 👍🏼😆 'Opinions are like farts...' 🤣😂 'and killed some of your day, hopefully payed time @work...' 🤣😂 But anyway my opinion smells better than others, especially at work killing time watching vids... 🤔🙄😁😉 Love your style! 👍🏼Keep up the good work with the Nomad Sweden team! 👏🏼 Greetz from The Netherlands! 👊🏼

Thank you for your choice of tires for the Tenere and your opinion on them. The Motoz would be a shortlist to try but it's difficult to get tires here in Germany at the moment. Unnecessarily, the Motoz are not offered in Germany due to registration regulations. But that's just the way it is in a country where the color of your underpants will soon be prescribed for you.😉

This was great - I know from watching you that you are a bit of a tire connoisseur and I am glad to see such a great review on the MotoZ Tractionator ADV. Just put the rear on my bike combined with an Anakee Wild on the front and I love the mix.

Nice review, the Motoz look amazing But what is your opinion about the Michelin Anakee Wild, never tested? Do you have some feedback from that set of tires on the T7? Thanks 😎

Interesting video! Good to hear the comparison between the different ones. Tires are always a confusing thing 😅 Any experience with the Mitas E-07+? I just ordered them 🤞

AX41, try them and fall in love 😻 I too have tried many tyres and these are by far the best 50:50 on the road, wet, dry, hot and cold they stick like shit to a blanket on road, still as good as any 50:50 off road yet I got 10,000km from a rear, a 140 on my 1200gs with narrow rims fitted. I had previously tried: Karoo 2 Karoo 3 Anakee Wild STRs

Entertaining review as always Robert. Have you tried the 140 wide (tubed) Motoz Tractionator on your T7? Just wondering if it would be ok on such a wide rear rim but I’m tempted as it’s a ton cheaper that the 150 tubeless version.

Some people like to run the same brand and model front/back, it's easier to get it the way you want by mixing...but all farts are different 😁

Why it makes me jealous to have such pile of tyres in my garage too? 😁

Try the E13 front and Dunlop D908rr. I love it on my 640 adv.

Great video, looking at the Motoz Tractionators, how difficult is the procedure for tube repair in case of puncture as you say it is a stiff tyre?

Great review. Can’t wait to burn off the stock tires for something better

Thanks for tyre review but I think the best tyre for me is the Pirelli scorpion rally strs.' Depends how much agressive off-road use but as an 80/20 they are no.1.

Hi Robert, another great video, thanks, im off to Spain/France for a trip across the Pyrenees in September taking in Paved Roads, ACT and a little TET, I have the stock Scorpion Rally STR and like them for road, but as you said if it off road and wet they are not great. Not being an expert in tyres is there specific tube tyre models and if so how do you know.

Thanks for this practical review, although I have to disagree... mine are the only ones that don't stink! We have similar philosophies on tires (tyres), get the best tire for the terrain that challenges your skills the most. I'm on a KTM 690 Enduro. MT 21 front MotOz RallZ rear. Switched from the Heidenau K60 rear (did not like that tire at all). Of course, this combination of tires roars as I go down the road and you can watch the handle bars bounce up and down just rolling the bike around the garage. I appreciate your review of the Tractionator Adventure, that may be my Transamerica Trail tire of choice (at least for Atlantic to Colorado, maybe more). Thanks again!

Nice rundown, that farts comment was gold 😅 Cheers

New riders tend to underestimate the importance of tyres, they think the ratio, so say a 50/50, relates to how much time they spend on or off road, but realistically it represents how much grip you get - so really a 50/50 tyre is only giving you 50% of the grip you actually need. I've come from motocross to adv bikes and just baffled with the whole tyre thing with adv bikes, most bikes I see offload are just under gripped and gonna struggle if the going gets tough. This is a great video and explanation tho of what to look for and expect from a tyre. Went to the Adv Bike Festival in England recently and was disappointed in the speakers they had, they were more media lovies than actual proper adv riders, and only Bridgestone had a tyre stand. Perhaps that was a covid thing, I know Revit couldn't get because of restrictions, but there should be more talk and emphasis on tyres, it is the only bit that makes contact with the dirt. Great vid - thanks

Motoz Tractionator tyres are designed by an Australian company for Australian conditions. This might explain their robustness and why they would work better in a hotter climate. I have them on my Africa Twin and they are a great tyre if you want to do three thousand km of sand and dirt roads with occasional forays into the blacktop. Like I did last summer.

I'm thinking of putting a GPS motoz tire on the rear wheel and the Adventure motoz on the front. I think the GPS front tire is not aggressive enough.

Hmm, I thought You went for the Motaaaaaz Rallz Robert. Impressive milage on those Adventure!

Thanks for the video! Was wondering how the Mitas E12/13's perform on wet roads? And can you reuse the original tubes the T7 came with? Thanks again

Hi Robert, thank you for the informative video. I need your advice. I'm planning to do the ACT Portugal next year. As I'm from the NL and need to cover some miles I will also do some onroad. Which tire do you recommend? The Motoz Traction Adv or Mitas E13/E12? Also taken in consideration that I want a tire which is less prone to punctures and what kind of inner tube do you recommend normal or HD tubes? Krgds Ray

Good information. Michelin Anakee Wild?

Umpa poompa strikes again! Good video!

From where are the metal bag packs looks great

Hello, great review, thank you! I have one question: on the MITAS catalogue they say that the E12 rally star is for 3,5 inches rim (with a window between 2,75 and 3,75). Was it no problem with the 4 inches rim of the Tenere? Thank you! Christophe

What do you mean when you say "not the best for twistys"? (Tractionators) Those look like they have a lot of rubber contact. Is it just that they are so hard, they warm up slow? They look like they would be really smooth on the road for what you would also be getting on the dirt. I'm coming up on replacing the stock pirelli scorpion's. I was thinking those Tractionators look pretty good for how I would use them(I think very similar to you; 80/20, mostly road...but I do enjoy offroad occassionally and don't want to be severely compromised when I do). Was also considering maybe getting 2 sets for different types of usage.

Hi! I saw that recently you tried Michelin tracker? How did you like it in comparison? Do they run tubeless?

What do you suggest for cold season riding? I'm looking at the mitas e07+'s or the e10's. I was looking at the tractionator's adventure or gps but they are both harder rubber.

What you didn't mention with for example the Motoz Tractionator, but what I would expect with such a heavy tire, is that it would affect the handling on the road. Because the tires spin they have significant gyroscopic effect, thus the heavier the tire itself, the more it can slow down turn in speed. Of course not so relevant off-road, but on tarmac I can imagine it matters. Did you find this with the tires you tested as well, or is it somewhat insignificant?

Hello from Latvia. 🤲🏽 Im planing to set Motaz, but you say thene not good in wet&cold. Cold you mean below 10 celsius? Or cold is about 0 celsius? 😅

It sounds like you've run both tubeless and tubed tires. I didn't think you could use tubeless using the stock rims. Have you upgraded the rims or is there something I'm missing? Thanks!

Hi. I watch many Tenere reviews - and I often see the handlebars flick side to side on anything wet or muddy - do they have a tendency to “wash out front”, no matter what tyre is fitted? Thanks

Trying out the RallZ later ? I got my set in the car, will put them on on Sunday 😊

Tack för att du delar dina erfarenheter! Funderar på att köpa ett par Motoz Adventure till min T7:a. Vilka exakta dimensioner använder du fram och bak?

Bra video. Vad är det för ”Väskhållare” du monterat på sidan? Ser smidig ut speciellt om man inte vill ha klumpiga bågar bak. Hur skulle du beskriva T7an som en 99% touring hoj på asfalt? Kör 1200xtz idag och är sugen på mindre hoj men osäker på komforten. / Ola

Hi Rob great tyre review. I run the the motoz tractionator rallz on my t7 i have 5000km on them, great all-rounder for here,sand, rocks, mud. I don't push them too hard on wet ashfeltroad. Cheers

Hello, could you tell me which rear tire provides more forward traction, please: the mitas e09 or the Motoz Adventure? Thank you

I prefer the pirelli scorpion rally front paired with 908rr rear

I think I’m going to go with the motoz on my T7. First time replacing tires.
