Michelin Anakee 2 Adventure Touring / Dual Sport Rear Tires New competition-derived rubber mix in the most popular sizes delivers at least 29 greater tread life than its two nearest competitors in the adventure touring segment Same remarkable wet traction as the original Anakee tires Lateral rigidity and stability thanks to reinforced casing Radial tire for large adventure touring bikes Large tread blocks for on-road stability Designed specifically for adventure bikes like BMW GS and Suzuki V-Strom Radial design Versatile tread with deep channels for water evacuation Compared with Bridgestone Trail Wing and Metzeler Tourance EXP. Test conducted by CERM (Centre d'Essais Routiers Mecaniques) in 2008 using sizes 110/80R19 and 150/70R17

These tires are confidence inspiring, since there mounting about 30 days ago it has rained, snowed, and iced up a bit in New England. I took my knobbies off for the winter and had the choice of remounting the OEM Metzlers (~2,500miles) but opted for these tires. They shed water like a tin roof and are sticky in the cold. Mud clears the tread well considering 90%+ focus on street, I wouldn’t suggest these tires for riders with high percentage of mud and off road riding. These are great tires if spend the majority of your time on pavement, gravel, dirt, and sporadic water and mud.

Off Road:
In dirt, gravel, mud and all things fun these tires transformed my ’10 R1200GS into a gazelle, all be it a hefty one. River crossing, muddy wooded areas, whatever the challenge, these tires are great. All other riders I know, regardless of bike has enjoyed these tires for on/off road riding.

On Road:
On the road the tires road very well, considering their design all the way up to 65 mph. At spirited speeds the front wobbled a bit but was easily controllable after bumps and tire impact. In turns the knobs tended to stay “in” the turn and required a minor style change to transition out of the turn. On tight higher speed turns in deeper leans the tire tend to crawl slightly compared to the OEM tires.

Tread:
There 3,500 miles on these tires now, the front is holding up well as you would expect, but the rear has 500 – 1,000 miles maximum left. Noise, road noise was not an issue at all at any speed. When it comes to rain, these tires move water well but don’t have as strong a grip on wet pavement as the OEM tires.

Satisfaction:
Will I buy again, ABSOLUTELY. I can be added to the long list of rides regardless of bike have enjoyed these tires for on/off road riding. Another 1,000 miles or so out of the rear would make me giddy!

I am about 30 days into these boots and they have made standing for extended mileage a breeze. The fit, finish, and function is as advertised. The only small drawbacks and they are small: I wish the sole was flat and the boots squeak non-stop. I live in New England and I bought them a ½ size larger so I could add some insulation. In summary, great boots and they look like they will last for many years, they already have 2,000 miles on them.

Shoe size conversion
What would the equivalent American boot size be for a South African size 10?
US 10 = 44 based on the look up table. This is also the size I went with and it worked fine for me. The table seems to be pretty accurate.
