Michelin - 170/60R-17 - Anakee Wild Dual Sport Rear Dual Sport Motorcycle Tire

I participated in a Motorcycle Relief Project ride on a 2014 BMW GS 1200 with these tire equipped in Colorado. These tires were grippy, inspiring confidence. Leaning the bike on pavement going through twisties, the bike felt glued to the road. In the dirt and sand it also inspired confidence. For a newer rider like myself at the time, this was extremely helpful. These tires are what these bikes are made for; ADVENTURE and PERFORMANCE! You will NOT be disappointed with these tires.

Michelin Ankee Wilds have been my go-to 50/50 tire for the last 8 years. I go through several tires a year. While we'd all love to have them last longer, you gotta pay to play and for the performance, they deliver bang for the buck. I run a non-profit that takes veterans and first responders on five day adventure motorcycle relief rides. We have 16 BMW GS motorcycles. Michelin has been our tire sponsor for years. We couldn't do what we do without support from amazing industry partners like Michelin! Thanks Bib and team! We do 12 week long rides a year, with 11 riders, averaging 800-ish miles a ride, a mixture of pavement and gravel roads. That's over 100k miles a year on Anakee Wilds. We get many street riders who've never ridden off pavement. They start the week tentative, being the first time on knobby tires. But they quickly learn to trust the handling and are amazed at just how well these tires stick to wet and dry pavement. As mentioned in other reviews, they're noisy... but so is every other knobby tire. But for the capabilities, I wouldn't run any other tire off pavement.
