I just removed an 804 that lasted 8,600 miles on my 990. Was cupping a good bit and didn't do well off pavement any more. But it is good bang for the buck. I hated the 805 however. Horrible in gumbo mud with poor lateral traction. In the dry, it's a good tire. It lasted around 6,000 miles. Both do well on pavement.

For me, I wanted better yet off pavement, so went to the Goldentyre GT 723.

I've been running an 805 rear on my Strom 1k for about 2,500 miles and have been very impressed.  It took me up a couple hills that i did not think it would climb, although I am new to big ADV bikes also.  I have not tried mud yet, but it is also very impressive on pavement, smooth and grippy.  I have not quite touched the pegs down yet, but have touched my toes a few times and never had a slide yet.  I am running a biased ply 705 front with it, so won't need to try the 804 for a while.  The rear looks to last to at least 4k, maybe more?

I'm on my 3rd set on my KTM 990. Probably 70% off road two up for the majority of the miles. I've been very pleased with the performance and longevity. I previously was running the tkc 80's front and rear. The shinko's in my opinion are every bit as good and are considerably cheaper. Win Win in my opinion
