So.... the consensus for highway and "gravel" roads is Conti TKC70 or TA's ??What seems best for the twisties and longevity??Not looking for 50/50P.S. yes, Jasper is still here (Vara) ...and also riding Ruby Red (AT)
have given a chance to Anakee wild after Mike's advice depending on how much time and weather (30° for instance) before beginning of ski season; I will report...
Quietly 300 kms (quietly honed) , nice on road ( not too much turns for instance ride in Camargue), a little bit more noisy as TKC (normal, more knobby) , as said less vibration then TKC (good point ) excellent on gravel ( but not faster then 55km/h -riding with Michelle) ; and perfect in mud (not a long part done ... Try to have a small trip before weather season and some off road session scheduled with Exvara/Jacques
I ride the twisties at speed with my TKC70's. They hold on good.

A new tire to test for those who search a 50/50 tire; manufactured by Bridgestone , named Battlax Adventurecross AX41something like this:information sheet is hereand a small promotion film (on GS )
You know lately I bought a 2nd mistress and old love of mine from Yamaha, a Fazer 8 to do everyday riding, it is better to me on highways.So it led me to compare handling capabilities and while the position and ergos are of course totally different, I feel on the Yamaha I am in total control, meaning I can also do crap.On the Honda, I feel more ease it's less physically engaging, but I also feel a kind of "autopilot" factor, where it takes the lines without me working and sometimes I would rather place the motorcycle myself in turns.Not sure this is relatable to any of you, but is this a tire brand feel, because I've only used continental on the Honda and the Yamaha always Dunlops. Or is this just the 21 to 17 inch front feel !?I'm contemplating eventually changing to 19rims, so this interests me !
