    Hi,
    I have my new Triumph Tiger 800 XRx, year of manufacture 2015, for 1 month. We already rode 5 000 km together. :) Now looking for new tires that will last many kilometers (up to 10 000 km).
    I have now Pirelli Scorpion Trail 2
    front: 100/90 - 19 M/C 57V
    rear: 150/70 R17 M/C 69V

    I don´t want to say that they are bad. Just looking for any recommendations and tips.
    The plan is to go from Czech Republic through Turkey, Georgia to Russia. No real off-road, but .... :)

    Thank you!

    Jana

    Michelin Anakee 2 or 3. You wrist will determine rear tyre life.

    Yep...I have a new set of Anakee 2's on my Explorer and they offer superb levels of grip and stability. Don't know what their life, if ridden moderately, is like though. Time will tell! I'd guess that 10K Kilometres might be optimistic unless the right wrist is disciplined!
