Flappy613 Posted May 21, 2017 My Ride Report Share Posted May 21, 2017 Hey all, The Holy Grail of my search for a durable 50/50 tire is over! As of my early May outing of the 10th my Tractionator GPS's have TEN THOUSAND US miles on them! I love these tires! Even with only 3mm on the center section they got good hook up in several sections of 1/4" pea gravel drifts which I found myself in. I will need to replace them soon but the only negative at this point is the step-off when crornering on pavement. Otherwise these things have been a rock and I will definitely be re-purchasing. Hopefully the contact info. I gave my dealer will bear fruit and I can order them directly but if not I will have them shipped 'round the horn if necessary, they are that good. Thanks again, Eric! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Eric Hall Posted May 21, 2017 Administrators My Rides (3) Report Share Posted May 21, 2017 Good to hear that! How would you rate vs a Mitas E07?I was just thinking today that with the GPS a 50/50 and the adventure a 70/30, I wish they would make a 60/40 knobby Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flappy613 Posted May 22, 2017 Author My Ride Report Share Posted May 22, 2017 Eric, Haven't tried the Mitas yet, nor the Conti but 2 sets each of Karoo3 and K60 Scouts. The Karoos were absolutely a blast in softer stuff but wore like dirt bike tires- gone in two thousand miles. The Heidies are what my local Triumph dealer sells and I managed to get used to their greasy and evil feeling in exchange for the 5000 miles I could get out of a set. Now that I've managed 10k out of these I'm curious to talk to my dealer and see if they've acted on the contact info. I gave them that I got from Motoz. Hopefully as I said they can establish a nice retail relationship and I can continue to get their tires only with the added benefit of my dealer being able to source them so as to provide any actual warranty service. Either way, I'm a convert for life as 10k out of a heavy ADV tire is damned remarkable. I might actually try them in the 70/30 rather than 50/50 position but darn it's nice to just be able to take off anywhere within a few hundred miles and not have to worry about tires. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
