Good tires
Arrived as promised and easy to mount by hand after letting them sit in the sun for a couple hours. I have used Anakee 2's before and they work well on my Vstrom DL 650. Tread life is slightly better than average for an 80/20 tire and on road grip in wet and dry is excellent. They work well for hard packed gravel and caliche roads but this is not a deep sand or mud tire as it packs up just like a Tourance or the others with this similar tread pattern. Next time I think I'm gonna try the new Anakee 3's that just came out as I'm looking for a tire I can get some mileage out of. The high summer temps combined with the sharp aggregate chip seal asphalt here in south Texas eats a rear tire down to the cords in 4k to 5k miles.

In for the long haul
Just used this tire on a 1700 mile trek in Mexico...Fast highways, mountain twistys, off-road punishment. Takes abuse and asks for more...Not my first Anakee 2, won't be my last !

An ok tire, but a bit squirmy on the corners
I haven't ridden it enough to say much about tread life, but it seems like a pretty good tire in most ways. My one main complaint is the 2 rows of grooves on the sides. They should be staggered more. As it is, they line up pretty well so as you're rolling into a corner you have good grip until you hit the groove on each side. As soon as you hit that groove it feels squirmy until you lean it over further and go past the groove. It doesn't slip when you hit the groove, but it is an unsettling feeling. I will not get these again. I think I will try a Metzler Tourance or Continental Trail Attack instead.

Anakees are the best dual sport tires.
Excellent service. Received the tires in two days.

Excellent overall riding tire and long life as well!!
I bought my 2006 R1200GSA with 2,000km on the Anakee 2 tires already on the bike. I put on and additional 12,000km on them myself riding in a fair bit of rain and on some off-road riding. I did a few long trips with moderately loaded gear on the bike. The ride was smooth and felt secure at all times even in the wet and cold weather. The tires really shine on the wet days leaving you to feel confident as you get into the corners. On the dry days, look out, these tires show their second side proving to be very grippy as the bike dips deeper into the twisties. I have only one concern and that is the tires have developed some scalloping as of late but with the amount of miles on them I'm still very happy with them. You will too!!

The Michelin Anakee 2 Review
The Michelin Anakee 2 is a great tire IMHO. I feel that they perform in an excellent manner. It holds the road quite well, wet or dry. It has better feedback than other brands of this same style. It inspires confidence on the asphalt as well as on gravel & dirt roads. This is my third set I've purchased for my BMW R1150GS and I hope that Michelin will be introducing the same tire for the new water-cooled R1200GS that is coming out next March 2013.

Great performance on BMW 1100GS
I recently replace my worn Tourance (6500mi = 80% used) with Michelin Anakee2 for a trip around Texas. The Anakee2 exhibited a softer ride than the Tourance without sacrifice of road feel or handling. Very nice tire. Put 1500 miles on them in 3 days. No noticeable wear. Will advise when they are worn out regarding useful mileage. Note: tires arrived promptly (actually sooner than expected).

it did exceed my expectation and i did 10,000 Klm. and still can go for another 3000 and more

Answer:
Absolutely! Install with a tube and you are ready to rock. The stock rear tire size for a KLR is 130/80-17.8 months ago
Answer:
If you are talking about the Metzeler Tourance, if they are available in the size to fit your KLR, this would be a great tire if you ride mostly on the street. For anything more gnarly than a nice gravel road, I would get a more aggressive tire.7 months ago

Answer:
Since the top speed of the F800GS is low, you could get by with either the H or the V.H tires are rated up to 130mph
while
V tires are rated up to 149mph
If they are the same price, get the V, but if you can save any $, get the H.

Answer:
The H and HR rated tires are generally for sustained speeds in excess of 130 MPH. If you don't ride that fast you don't need them. Some say that the tread life on the H rated tires is better because they have a higher heat rating, but in my experience I gave not found that to be true. Hope this helps2 months, 1 week ago
