Tyres must be a quite subjective topic I suppose.
Many riders seem to love tyres like Heidenau K60 scout while I found them the worst tyre I ever have had on my bike bike (Tenere 660 post 2008) No feedback, not very good grip, especially nit on wet surface, hard to lean over when cornering and the only tyre I have had that give me noise of a kind that I react upon. And at 12 k kms they had huge cracks around the knobbies and I took em off and put them in the vastebin.
And when reading that an experienced and sensible guy like Mollydog said that the Pirelli MT60 is a terrible tyre "that sucks" - I got a little surprised. Its the best tyre I have had on any bike I have had so far. Exellent grip on wet and dry tarmac, ok on gravel, very good feedback, extremely easy to lay over in corners. My bike have never rolled so easy as with those tyres. And I got 15,5 k kms out of them.
Shinko 705 - ok tyres in general, but I only got 9,5 k kms out them.
Anakee 2 and 3 both in general good tyres, but of course not well suited for heavy off roading.
The original tyres on the bike, cant remember what is was - Trailwing or something like that was terrible tyres.
I now run Sava Invaders which in general seems quite average when it comes to grip, feedback, handling and wear. Have 5,5 k kms on them now but they wont last more than max 10 k kms.
