My bike have never rolled so easy as with those tyres. And I got 15,5 k kms out of them.

Wow! I should qualify my comments. The MT60 I actually rode on was an OLD tire. (in storage 5 years) So could have been hardened? It IS a good wet paved road tire. Rode DRZ400SM on race track with MT60. Good!
One problem for me is how easy the MT60 fills with mud and becomes a "Mud Slick" off road. Tread not deep enough for muddy road. For simple dirt or gravel, probably fine.
I certainly respect your experience and I'm sure you have done MORE km than I on this tire  Friends ran them on bigger bikes (Vstrom) and the rear tire did not last long doing FAST road riding. (about 3 or 4K miles only)
Tires are a HARD choice.
