Metzler Tourance.
I've used these on my previous BMW R1150GS and on the Wee.
15-20,000km out of a rear.
Not the cheapest tyre around, but value for KM's covered they are great.
Very good grip dry and wet, also capable of dirt roads and tracks.
I'm currently trying the Anakees but will be going back to the Tourance for the next set.
Tyre slip in the wet can happen to any tyre, what was on the road [oil mixed in with the water etc.] can have a big influence.
So far I have found the Tourance to be excellent as an all round tyre.
Never had an issue in the dry, very confidence inspiring.
The odd slip on the wet has been on road markings, as soon as the tyre hit tar again it grabbed on solid.
Dirt handling is good enough for the type of dirt I ride, gravel roads with some mud, nothing too serious.
The bike will take knobbies and handle very well if you are going to do a serious outback trip, but as a general allround tyre the Tourance fits the bill nicely.
