Great traction/ low life
Great tire but trailer your bike to the trail, 2500 miles and smoked. Half pavement and half rode on pan America
Paul, Tire wear for the knobby Anakee Wild tires will vary due to many factors such as terrain, riding style, load, and air pressure maintenance. Anakee Wild tires deliver tremendous off-road capabilities in wet and dry conditions with amazing on-road handling capabilities that result in a tire that is arguably among the best in the market for this category.

Solid choice
I have been happy with the quality. The tires perform well. No issues.
Amazing tires
I installed the tires in my Harley Pan America, they are amazing, excellent traction in the dirt, in the highway they are little noisy, but I have them already for 6000 miles and never have any problems and still tread on the tires, great product!
Great wet traction
Very noisy tires even for an adventure tire
120/70-19 Anakee Wild front tire.
Great tire, but the noise !?!?!! The howl @ 50 to 60 mph is ridiculous.
Hi! It would be interesting to know during which conditions you hear the noise. As much detail as possible is appreciated! Thank you for your feedback.

Great Tire On and Off Road
The Awake Wild performs incredibly well off road which I expected, but I was surprised how well they handle the asphalt. Not the place you want to use the rubber, but I rode mountain passes in early April with water across the road (I was nervous about ice), twisty sections of road, rain and the Anakee Wild's felt secure in all conditions. I'm on a BMW R1250GSA so lots of weight for the tires to handle. On this set I rode the Colorado BDR, Utah BDR, White Rim and a week in the San Rafael Swell. I will replace the rear tire mid July and I'll keep the front on a bit longer. From my experience I would gladly recommend the Anakee Wild to a friend. Don't expect them to last very long but mine have lasted long enough.
Excellent off road traction
I put a fresh set of these on my tiger 1200 rally pro right before setting off to ride the Washington backcountry discovery route. My first impressions coming off of the trailmaxx mission tires were that this tire definitely feels more like a knobby under heavy breaking and acceleration on the pavement. While that was to be expected, it was a bit of a surprise as far as how much. The on road cornering grip is pretty impressive, good feel and feedback. But where this tire really excelled was on the dirt. The front tire offered downright ridiculous grip on the rocks and ruts. Great braking performance and confidence inspiring cornering traction. The rear supplied as much acceleration traction as I could hope for trying to get 150hp to the dirt lol. But in more technical applications the rear was predictable and compliant. My only complaint is tire life. Granted, asking a knobby like tire to hold up against a 550 lb bike with 90+ lbft of torque, might just be a tad unrealistic, but the center knobs and inner side knobs of the rear tire were completely rounded off and down to the wear bars after 1200 miles. The front faired much better. If I had to do it again I would, knowing that the traction off road was worth the price of fast tread wear. If you’re heading out to do a BDR or an off road oriented multi day trip, these are awesome. Just expect to need a new rear when you get home lol.

Great pick for 50/50 Dual Sport use
I recently put on a set of these tires on a 250 Dual Sport that I use for bopping around on up at our cottage. Tires work well on the secondary highways and are very sure-footed on fire roads and moderate trails/single track. Any tire is ultimately a compromise however these are about the best all-rounder I have found and seem to be wearing quite well on this somewhat lighter bike. For serious off-road on my Enduro bike I stick with full off-road tires.
Hi Offroader, thank you for your review of our MICHELIN Anakee Wild tire! We appreciate your feedback.
