Tyres?

[rachelf67]

My last 2 sets of tyres for my F700GS have been Michelin Anakee II. Can't now get these and the Anakee III don't seem to be available either. I've also looked at Metzeler Tourance which i am familiar with but these have also been replaced and can't get them or the next replacement in my size. So the latest Metzeler replacement for those (2 generations ahead of what i have experience of) is coming it at upwards of £425 fitted. Anyone got experience of other tyres they could recommend for my bike that are a bit more wallet friendly?

I’ve recently bought a pair of Mitas Terra Force R’s for my 2020 F850GS

Very happy with the price and all in, including getting them fitted cost me around £190 the pair ….they remind me of Metzeler Tourance tread style ….

Quite pleased with the OE Dunlop Trailmax Meridian fitted to my new V85TT
My local place has them around £295 fitted to loose wheels https://www.welshpooltyres.co.uk/
Add £30 to fit both to the bike.
Not much use off road but that suits me.
I looked at online retailers and stock is low, so you may have to compromise. Spring is never a good time to buy tyres as everyone wants a new set! It happened to me last year on my previous bike and I ended up with some T31 Bridgestones to go to Austria, which aren't my favourite tyre.

I’m very happy with Conti Trail Attacks, very predictable handling and grip in all weather

I had Annakees on my F700, I took them off as they were so noisy. I have run Continental trail attack two’s and threes. Great for road work, not much good I wager in mud.

And…..they dont seem to square off as quick as Metz Tourances

 

[rachelf67]

Thanks all. I’ll check all those out and see where we go

I was able to get Anakee III's online recently - before Christmas anyway

Motard Inn and before that XL Moto i think

Currently running a set of these on my 1200, they ride just like the Tourance's I usually use but at a significantly lower cost at the time of purchase
