I have 8.5k miles on my bike and this will be my third front and sixth rear. I used to have that problem too... 1.5K was the most I have ever gotten out of a TKC 80 or a Rally Raid tire. The Motoz tires, do last longer. Longer on my KTM 950 Super Enduro. Longer on my BMW R1200GSA. And longer on my KTM 1190 Adv R then any other tires I have run previously. Well, except for the K60 Scouts... but those were sketchy! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For me there are long road stretches between sections of dirt where its all 80+ mph speeds. Anyone have a tire issue related to speed yet? I ride 90+ MPH on a daily basis. In this video you can see 95 mph is my cruising speed on the highway with a top speed of 135mph. My freeway speed every day is between 80mph and 95mph for stretches of 25 miles to 70 miles depending on my destination which equals 200+ highway miles a week. I am currently running Motoz Desert HT Tubeless tires. They do well at high speeds, but off- road is where they excel and why I have them mounted. The 150 miles of OFF Road riding I do on the weekends demands a good and reliable knobby tire. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Tubeless Motoz Tractionator Desert H/T tire has landed in the 150/70-18 rear and 90/90-21 front. Take a look: https://www.chapmoto.com/motoz--tractionator What it looks like today... Almost ready to be swapped out. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Administrators Eric Hall Posted August 14, 2018 Author Administrators My Rides (3) Report Share Posted August 14, 2018 I got a set of the new Rallz tires and will put them on the 990 for the upcoming High Sierra ride and then the KTM Rally. Did a brief side by side on our Instagram feed a moment ago... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Eric Hall Posted August 15, 2018 Author Administrators My Rides (3) Report Share Posted August 15, 2018 Ah so apparently even though the new tire is called Rallz they pronounce it “Rallys.” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NavyNuke Posted September 1, 2018 Report Share Posted September 1, 2018 Thinking of the tractionator HT for my 701, where do you guys recommend getting them from? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trailzrider Posted September 6, 2018 Report Share Posted September 6, 2018 I was looking forward to giving the Desert HT a try at the #XLADVHIGHSIERRA2018. Unfortunately 2+ hours of sustained 90+ mph @40psi on my 1190 loaded down melted the center knobs. I was able to ride all weekend and back home. The first two pictures were taken Friday at 6am before the rally and the last picture was taken when I got home. Were the high speeds, pressure, and weight asking too much of a 90/10 tire? BTW I feel that they held up so well on the trail & twisty roads after the damage says a lot about their construction quality. I am concerned about the compound may not be suited for my street riding style:) 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trailzrider Posted September 7, 2018 Report Share Posted September 7, 2018 1 hour ago, Eric Hall said: Too fast too heavy I just went on the Motoz website. The tire has a load speed rating of 70Q = 739lb @ 99mph. Even if the bike weighed 1,000lb and I averaged 95mph for 2-hours I do not think it should have failed the way it did. So far all the response I have received at ESP (The shop that works on my bike) say they do not think it should have failed under those conditions. Maybe I will contact the factory to help me understand if the failure is reasonable or not. BTW the bike has a new set of Rallz front and rear now. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Eric Hall Posted September 7, 2018 Author Administrators My Rides (3) Report Share Posted September 7, 2018 I’d suggest heat but I recall it being just 93 that day which isn’t really a scorcher. I’ve run that tire before but never went over about 70. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NavyNuke Posted September 7, 2018 Report Share Posted September 7, 2018 MotoZ Tractionator H/T tires going to Utah with me. Let's see how many miles TKC-80s last before I change them out.Plus random work photo from my 4 day hitch this week 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trailzrider Posted September 7, 2018 Report Share Posted September 7, 2018 The Rallz have the same 70Q Load/Speed rating as the HT. I have been happy with the various Motoz models I have tried in the past, but do want to better understand the limitations so I do not have this issue again. There are 75-80 mph highways out there and want to make sure I am running at least an 70/30 tire that can handle a 10% overage over the posted speed limit.

In this video you will see my used up Desert H/T tires, next to a brand new set... next to the RallZ tire next to the Tractionator Adventure Tire. Three different tires for three different riders. Pretty neat. What do you think? Take a look: 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Eric Hall Posted September 25, 2018 Author Administrators My Rides (3) Report Share Posted September 25, 2018 Another excellent video, @Manybikes! Very thorough explanation. Interesting you say ADV is 75/25 when I've been saying 70/30 this whole time. Pretty close. I also viewed the MKII as kind of the ADV V.2 but it's a separate tire altogether. Happy with my RallZ tires so far! They did very well at High Sierra and the feeling I'm getting is like they took the knob on the ADV tire and turned it up to 11.

Trailzrider Posted October 10, 2018 Report Share Posted October 10, 2018 The Rallz performed well under the identical conditions that the HT failed in my previous post. I was very pleased with the off-road performance of the Rallz front and rear. Looks like the rear will last 3-4k miles with my riding style. For now they will be my go to tire. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
