There is no such thing as a "perfect" adventure motorcycle tire. Every tire in the ADV category represents a series of compromises between pavement grip, off-road traction, high-speed stability, puncture resistance, and longevity.
In this episode of our ADV 101 series, we break down everything you need to know about picking the right tire for how you actually ride. We cover the entire tread spectrum (from 90/10 to 50/50 and 20/80 knobbies), tubed vs. tubeless setups, how wheel diameters affect tire performance, the realities of tire wear on heavy 600+ lb bikes, and why stiff sidewalls can turn trailside flat repairs into a nightmare.
