I'm running an Pirelli Scorpion MT/90 rear, same as on the KTM Adventure 950?, and the grip is really good on pavement, but my old trailwing felt better on gravel. Can be that my riding is a bit more aggressive after 5000km compared to my first km's http://www.horizonsunlimited.com/ubb/wink.gif 5000km and counting on the rear tyre, will probably last about 4000-5000km more. Rode 10000km last year...
