Metusuk (Nick),
I'd opt for the Trellesports/Trelleborgs any day. I have just fitted them to my Yamaha XT600E. Very cost effective and reliable 50% Road / 50% Offroad tyres. Recently picked for the British Army (Royal Corps of Signals) Dispatch Bikes and used by the Swedish Army too (in heavy snow one would imagine). If it's good enough for these brave lads then it's certainly good enough for me...
They are half the price of the Conti's!!!! The two look very similar although I am told the Trelleborgs are slightly more robust (Agricultural).
Your trip sounds very interesting... Stay safe and ride carefully (on your Trelleborgs that is).
Trellesport
