Trellborgs
I used the Trellys (army tyres) front and rear on my XT600e for Africa. I changed from the road tyres in Senegal and went through 2x rears and 1x front by the time I got to Cape Town. I changed the second rear in Cameroon. Bog standard to fit with no direction markings and easy too.
They really came into their own from Mali to Angola, so I recommend them if your doing some good off road. I road tested them in Spain as comfortably was zipping around corners at 60+..! (dry)
Not bad as my riding companions went through TKC80s like ice cream! I'll be getting the Trellys again for my SA-UK trip this year.
The picture is me changing into the new rear after a puncture in Cameroon (Limbe to Younde road). The one I changed still had life in it but I'd had enough of carrying the spare. The puncture was due to tyre slip and ripped the valve.
Hope your choice goes well.
