I'm not sure which rim/wheel Yamaha use on your Tenere, probably either DID or Excel. I'm a big DID fan and if your standard rim is a DID, I would go with the stronger, tougher DID.
Some Excel rims are for racing ... very light but not that strong. Also, more expensive (maybe?) than some DID standard rims.
The best Rim/Wheels made (IMO) are the DID Dirt Star ones. Used by most Dakar teams ... but expensive.
Some of my Honda dirt bikes had Excel rims ... I dented them all. My Suzuki DR650 used DID wheels. Very strong, hard to bend or break. But I finally hit a rock in Baja (at 70 mph) that finally dented my DID rim. Still rides straight with no Hop! (someday I'll have it repaired!)

DID wheel on DR650 Suzuki ... still going like this!
