Hi Wilddogs

My Anakee 2 front tyre  (100/90-19) on my F650GS is due for replacement.  The Anakee 2 was great on the bike, but the Anakee 3 doesn't look like its enough off-road oriented.  So I am going through the tyres on JustBikeTyre, and I need some advice.  I don't do much off-road, so a tyre that is 30% off-road and 70% tar will be sufficient. 
Here is my options:


The tyres that looks similar to the Anakee 2 is the Mitas E08, Metzeler Tourance and Pirelli MT60.  What is your opinion on those tyres, and which would you choose to replace the Anakee 2, or will the Anakee 3 be sufficient for my needs.  I only put about 5k km on the bike per year, and 500 of that is off-road, so the price isn't much of an issue as long as it's great quality and it will last.

Your input is much appreciated.

Regards
Ras
