Has anyone used Trelleborg Army Special tyres ??

I`m considering fitting some to my XLV750R,and was wondering if anyone knew what they`re like on the road.
The only off road use they`re likey to get is up the Stella Alpina.
 
Their rated to 80 mph on the tyre, fine on the road as the rubber is very hard as are the sidewalls, I havent done much road in the rain on them but would have thought they were OK as long as you remember you have knobblies on.

Off road their good in gravel and on hard pack but rubbish mud cos of the strong side walls you have to run them with hardly any air to get good grip.

Mileage wise they should be OK, I have a pair on my DRZ and they wont die!

Thanks for that,Jim.
One more question,if you don`t mind.

As regards road use,do they feel more like a knobbly than other dual purpose tyres ??

By this,I mean do they feel possibly a bit 'skittish' or 'nervous' rather than the usual 'planted' or 'secure' feeling ??
 
I ran some on a TT600R, they were fine on the road, but,you must remember you are on knobblies if pressing on a bit.The only real way to tell if they are right for you and your usage is to buy some and see for yourself.
