In the blink of an eye (2573 km) my Michelin T63 rear tyre is poer.....I loved the tire and only had one puncture, from a pin of all things....unfortunately like most 4x4 owners  :pot: I spend most of my time on the tar commuting or riding on tar to get to gravel :'(

Before I buy another tyre I need some advise on the mileage/grip you get on a EO7 vs D606 or any other 50/50 rear tyre for a KLR 650. When I google the tyres some guys get huge mileages and others get next to nothing...I seem to fall into the next to nothing category on the T63 :eek7: I think its a combination of riding on the back wheel >:D and going 120+ kph on the tar not sure.....Unfortunately there is always a compromise when it comes to tyres but I would rather have more grip than see my arse for the sake of a few hundred rand...any feedback on these tyres on a KLR650 would be great :thumleft:
