Best combination of tires for R1100GS for RTW use?
 
So there's R1100GS, two up, full of luggage.

What would be the best tire joice for RTW - i thought taking 2 pairs, one pair on wheels and one spares. So one pair for dual porpose witch i'll use most - on tarmac road and bit gravel and one spare ones for some more offroad and sand pistes.

For dual purpose tyres i expect long lasting. For offroaders maximum grip, the mileage resistance isn't that important.

What would be the best candidates for that bike in these situations?

Conti TKC 80 for offroad?
Mezeler Enduro 4 for dual purpose?

I have a 1150 GSA an use Dunlops for dual purpose, great grip on tarmac and not so bad on dirt.
Most duals I tried were 90-10 (90 on road 10% off road) but these Dunlops seem to be like 75-25, You might want to look at them.

Dunlop Trailmax
Front 110/80R 19
Rear 150/70R 17
Both are tubeless.
