Winter tires with slats and soft rubber have been proven for a long time in the mountains and snow-covered countries, on (under
) the cars ... Why not whith bikes?
I thought, people in Quebec speak in (something like) French
I know only one tire wit M+S approval here in Europe and it is Heidenau Scout 60 but I wouldn't like to ride it even in wet asphalt...
I have been long away from Finland but as I remember on snow and ice only solution is knobby tires, hopefully with spikes.

Mitas e07 and TKC 70 are m+s
A new tire to test for those who search a 50/50 tire; manufactured by Bridgestone , named Battlax Adventurecross AX41
is there some body who have given a chance to this one
Have put some more kils on my anakee wild this WE. Tried twisties roads, and (for instance) not so confident as with TKC70; not so precise in driving turns.
In off road condition obviously perfect; we've ride rocks (not so hard), tracks with a lot of dead leaves and melting snow; I was every time in confidence, bike stay (quietly ) every time where I want she was; and fabulous traction every time ...
Update? Would you buy them again?

How many km you have now in total? Rear is E07+?
39 400 on the bike, 5200 on rear tire (Mitas E07+ dakar), just change it yesterday for our VIM/balkans trip by a Mitas E07+; 2100 on the front Anakee
Any body tried the new Trail Attack 3 yet ? I've been happy with the TA 2s but before replacement i thought i'd ask if any one had experienced the new ones , or is it a bit too soon for feed back on these ?
Just got back from a 15,000 kilometre trek across Canada. The Mitas E07 Dakar tires really are excellent. They did everything well. The front tire is pretty much worn out, although it could be used as a road only tire. The rear still has a few thousand kilometres left in it, which is absolutely amazing.
I rode on pavement, gravel and muck (Trans Labrador Highway in the pouring rain) - basically all conditions and they never had an issue at all. I think the Michelin Anakee Wild is better for grip off road but only slightly and certainly doesn't last as long.
15,500 km in total for the front and still going on the rear tire...
What are your pressures choices ?
Front Rear Solo
2.2 2.5
Front Rear Duo
2.2 2.8/3.00
Front Rear off-road (solo)
1.8 2.00
After my Yamaha front was toasted, but rear still good my mechanic put a Bridgestone T31 and I was blown away by the lightness and precision of the steering.
So I changed my mind trying the Karoo street and will change to the Bridgestone A41, apparently both T31 and A41 were designed by the same team and same tech, so I expect really good street riding.
BTW my now really square rear and frighteningly unevenly worn front TA2, managed about 16'000 Km on them, but my mechanic made a face seeing the weird tearing and really uneven wear on the front...
I use stock pressures, tried also 2.2 on the front, but with proper road suspension adjustment, 2.0 is fine !
