It appearsMost of those folks have only ridden street so their concern and impression makes sense but I think is a bit inaccurate. Knobby tires on pavement take a while to get used to,No doubt! I remember jumping on Highway 2 (Angeles Crest Highway) on my 79 YZ-125 and cracking the throttle wide open and thinking the bike would shake itself apart from the slapping of those bias ply knobbies. Well, I realized early on that those old knobbies had less traction on pavement then dirt (seriously).The Michelin Wilds, in my experience, offer traction on par with street tires. And I’m talking about riding the canyons and PCH. Are they different then street tires? Yes. They have a slight “Slap” as you ride at higher speeds and they do make a “humming” sound as well. But, it is minimal IMO.All said, they’re are two “negatives” with this tire.1. They’re expensive (but, you get what you pay for in this instance!). These tires offer enough stability and traction to allow me to cut traffic (safely and confidently) and ride high speed canyons and get off on a rutted, muddy, sandy trail and only slow down to change the settings to enduro on my GSA... Amazing technology where the “rubber meets the road” (or trail as the case may be...)2. They do not last long (I had to change the rear tire at 4,800 miles. I think the front will last twice that).So I see it as having two choices (okay three choices):1. Do not ride my GEA off road. Nope, not a choice. That’s why I bought it and a huge reason why I LOVE it!2. Buy tires made for more on road vs off road (Such as the Anakee III’s) and stick to dirt roads only; OR, air them way down (18 to 20 psi) and be REAL careful when riding over rocks so as not to damage the rims or popping the bead off while riding off road), or3. Riding on the Michelin Anakee Wilds (with confidence on and off road) and having to replace them more often then road tires.For me, option 3 is my choice... SAFE TRAVELS

Michelin had at one point had claimed a 50% increase in tread life over the TKC-80. Their site no longer claims that, but instead vaguely states "extraordinary longevity for extended adventures". As long as your extended adventure is less than 2500 miles then that is true.I have previously pushed TKC-80's to 3000 miles total on pavement with about 700 miles on the interstate, but these tires lasted only 2500 miles total with less than 300 miles on the interstate. I was riding with 80lbs of baggage total for 2200 miles, and with a passenger for 180 miles, and unloaded for the remaining 120 miles. The rear tire is nearly bald now.These tires handled well off road, and so well on road it didn't feel like a knob by tire. The 21" front/17" rear combination was not ...

The 21" front/17" rear combination was not loud like most other knobbies, were stable in corners, and had better grip on wet roads than the Anakee 3's I used previously.Great performance, but for their price these tires do not last long enough to justify buying again.90/90-21 front, 130/80-17 rear, BMW R100GSPD

I'm a beefy dude on a loaded Africa Twin Adventure Sports, riding in typical east-coast wet/rooty/rocky conditions. Bought these to replace the pathetic stock Dunlops, and it was a total game changer.All the traction I could want off-pavement. Predictable traction on gravely dirt roads, loose climbs, mild mud. These tires happily took me through plenty of "medium bike hard" Enduro trails where I really had to business going.Honestly surprising on-pavement performance. Way more secure and predictable than they look like they should be. Never felt squirmy, but would light the traction control through third gear on dry pavement. Despite the knobbiness, never felt any particular issue with rain grooves, tar snakes, etc. Maybe credit to the radial rear..Noisy. Not ...

Not the loudest DOT tires I've heard, but louder than my exhaust on the highway. Seemed to get louder as they wore down.Rear wore really evenly. Front suffered from feathering and cupping that really accelerated after about 3000 miles.I replaced these at 5300 miles, but they were honestly out of mojo by 3500. If I had the budget, the patience, and better earplugs, I'd run a new set of these every 3000 miles and be a happy man.

Anakee Wild met expectations as a premium tire. Expensive, but performed well. Fitted a pair to a Moto Guzzi V85TT for a 2,600 km ride from Phoenix to Mexicos Copper Canyon. Route was 95% asphalt, but the coarse tread of the Wild was necessary for the difficult leg from Choix to Batopilas. Provided good traction in sand & rock. Traction & wear on asphalt was surprisingly good for such an off-road oriented tire. Lots of life left in the tires following this trip. No wet weather encountered, so wet evaluation not available.

I just installed my second set. Loved them the front was still good after 5k miles but the rear need replacement at 5k miles which is what they are rated for. I used them on dirt, rocks, sand and pavement from side roads to the interstate. They are good even in heavy rain. I rode approximately 80 miles in torrential rain with no tire issues. The visibility was another matter.

I put these on a 2018 Africa Twin and they are definitely what I was looking for so I could ride more dirt. They seem more like 60/60 tires because they are pretty much knobbies, but they barely feel squirmy on pavement once you break them in. I am not a fast road rider ( like I've done every racing except road racing) but I feel like you can lean over and they will stick and any slippage is super linear. In the dirt, I've been riding them on sand, rocks and mud and plenty of fire roads and they are great all around. Tons of times I have ridden a sidehill to stay out of a washed out rut and the bike sticks as long as I act like it's going to. Predictable when sliding on gravel too. Yes they are sort of noisy but does anyone care? Now that I have a couple thousand ... MoreI put these on a 2018 Africa Twin and they are definitely what I was looking for so I could ride more dirt.

I've been riding hard and I think the rear is going kinda quick but I'm still getting another one.

...but probably not for long. LOL.Pros:Excellent performance on-road (considering for what the tires and bike are intended).Excellent performance off-road (compared with the OEM tires, these make the bike feel like it should).Cons:I'm not sure how long this rear tire is going to last, but I'm not betting on seeing the 2000-3000 miles that people report. I think I could probably finish it off in 500 miles but I'll try to stretch it out a bit more.

I use it on an 890 Adventure R. I have done some sandy trails and a lot of twisty roads on road in the mountains.It's amazing how I stay up with my buddies on naked bikes in the Twisties. It sticks to asphalt like chewing gum to your girlfriend's hair. I don't know I'm riding on knobbies when using it on the road. The only thing that I can say is not perfect is that at a100 mph the front starts floating a bit. But that's not how I ride so I'm very happy with it.
