Impressive
2016 VStrom 650XT ABS, tubeless, 12,000km on them so far, estimating another 3k to go. 80% tarmac, 20% gravel (no sand or mud). Very impressed with these, quiet, cornering with confidence, and good enough for logging roads. West Coast of Canada, lots of rain and they don't flinch.

Purchase a set and rear tire dint last a year
Luis, thank you for your feedback. The wear of a tire can vary depending on riding style, usage, load, riding conditions, and proper inflation. It is always recommended to take your bike to a local dealer for inspection to see if there could be any underlying conditions.

2nd set on mid range ADV bikes.
My second set of Anakee Adventure tires. Ran a set on my F850GS Adventure and now run a set on my F900 GS Adventure. Very good overall tire for a mid size adventure bike. Excellent road manners and good on packed dirt and gravel roads. There not bad on rocky terrain but don't venture into deep sand or mud, that could be there week spots.

Rear tire extremely noisy! The worst I’ve had love the way they handle, but too noisy
Fred, we are sorry you are experiencing issues with your Anakee Adventure tires. Noise can have several causes. Once your bike is inspected by your dealer, you can always contact Michelin Consumer Care at 800-346-4098.

Great tires for my riding
This is my second set of Anakee Adventures. They work really well for the type of riding I do on my KTM 1290S. I get about 8,000 miles out of set, which is comparable to more street oriented tires. They are excellent in rain. The front wore very well with no cupping or weirdness. The front is a little noisy, but not that bad for the performance.

Best Overall Tire for My ADV Riding
I've run these on my BMW R1200GS Adventure a couple of times. They are probably the best overall tire. I ride with confidence everywhere except mud or very deep sand on these tires. If your ADV bike does more touring than off-road, these are perfect.

Great on road and light off road.
I’m on a 2022 1250gsa I’m on my second rear tire and they are great, my first rear tire lasted 20,000 miles and it still had tread but was flush with the wear bars so I replaced it for safety, front tire is still on haven’t replaced it yet and I’m now at 30,000 miles and it’s just now starting to get close to the wear bars, great tire all around. Air pressure is key I always make sure before I ride that my air pressure is exactly to the spec down to the tenths of psi this makes a huge difference in wear to the tire.

Great on and off road
Have ridden about 3000 miles on these. They handle the logging roads very well and also have confident grip on the roads, wet and dry. Way better than the original Michelins (90/10) that came with my R1250GSA

Decent Tire. Maybe not for bigger guys if you're looking for longevity.
I bought my BMW R1250GS Adventure with these tire and so far I think they're pretty good. I have just over 9K miles on them and the rear is toast. I hoped it would last longer. I started seeing wear around the 5k mile mark and it has quickly increased since. This is to the point that I have ridden less to prolong the tire life and only make short trips for now. My front tire probably has another 3-4k miles left on it. I'm a larger guy so that could play a role. Overall, they're comfortable and handle very well in substantial lean angles and off-road. I've never had these tires slip outside of practicing in cones [and running them over]. If they lasted 15k for me, then I'd absolutely get them again. They ARE noisy however. If you don't ride with earplugs then imagine a Jeep Wrangler with knobby tires on in front of you all day. That's what it's like ESPECIALLY when they're new and during any lean. You eventually get used to it.

Noisy especially in turns drowning sound and 3 months in left me in osark mountains with 1/2 slit between treads on center of tread after driving on o fresh grated crushed stone road bummer
Tedav1, we're sorry to read you experienced this issue. We recommend taking the tire to your local retailer for it to be inspected.
