dominator tyres

Can anyone recommend tyres 120/90/17 for a dominator. Mainly for road use, but must last forever for a RTW trip. Tried trail wings but don't seem to last very long. Can you get a foam air filter for a dommie?

Ben,
You're not going to find a tire anywhere that will last forever on a RTW trip. If you want a long-lasting tire you're going to have to use a more street-oriented tire and sacrifice dirt capability.

Got a dommie as well preparing for a "africa" trip, Im getting Continental TKC 80's which seem to be the best compromise.
