Anakee Wild TIRE REVIEW

Anakee Wild Tire Sets the Bar.

The Anakee Wild tire sets the mark for big bike off-road traction in mud, sand , rocks and pavement. My go to tire for all my off-road adventures.

Good So Far

Running these on 700 Tenere. Traction is good for adventure riding. They do make a bit of noise on the road but not terrible. I wear earplugs so not an issue. Cannot speak to long term durability.

Amazing traction.

Riding a lot of rocky terrain, seasonal roads, the Anakee Wilds perform beautifully. Great traction on road too, even in torrential rain. My only complaint is they wear really fast. I only got 1,400 miles out of my last rear tire.

Great tires!

Work great on and off-road.

Handled like a champ!

Excellent performance!

I recently attended a week long event where I rode a BMW R1200GS equipped with Michelin Anakee Wilds and I was thoroughly impressed! The tires had excellent grip in the dry, wet, and even dirt. The tires performed excellent both on and off road. We pushed the bikes hard on winding roads and I learned quickly to trust the tires. In the dirt, the tires broke free predictably and provided excellent traction in sand, rocks, gravel, and mud. I highly recommend these tires!

Second set on my GSA

This is the second set of Anakee Wilds I’ve had and they are performing exceptionally well. Really good road manners for a knobby. On dry pavement you forget your on them as far as winding roads go. In the wet, obviously you exercise more care but these tires handle the wet pavement well also. Off road, they really shine. I’ll buy more. Wear is more than acceptable and road noise is not loud.

Anakee Wild Tires

I wanted to take a few moments to describe the great experience I had using Anakee Wild tires on a BMW R 1200 GS. These tires were as sticky as my Michelin Road tires on my R 1200 R on the street. In the dirt they were great confidence builders. they handle dirt, sand and rocks with ease.

AMAZING PERFORMANCE!

I participated in a Motorcycle Relief Project ride on a 2014 BMW GS 1200 with these tire equipped in Colorado. These tires were grippy, inspiring confidence. Leaning the bike on pavement going through twisties, the bike felt glued to the road. In the dirt and sand it also inspired confidence. For a newer rider like myself at the time, this was extremely helpful. These tires are what these bikes are made for; ADVENTURE and PERFORMANCE! You will NOT be disappointed with these tires.

Amazing 50/50 tire performance

Michelin Ankee Wilds have been my go-to 50/50 tire for the last 8 years. I go through several tires a year. While we'd all love to have them last longer, you gotta pay to play and for the performance, they deliver bang for the buck. I run a non-profit that takes veterans and first responders on five day adventure motorcycle relief rides. We have 16 BMW GS motorcycles. Michelin has been our tire sponsor for years. We couldn't do what we do without support from amazing industry partners like Michelin! Thanks Bib and team! We do 12 week long rides a year, with 11 riders, averaging 800-ish miles a ride, a mixture of pavement and gravel roads. That's over 100k miles a year on Anakee Wilds. We get many street riders who've never ridden off pavement. They start the week tentative, being the first time on knobby tires. But they quickly learn to trust the handling and are amazed at just how well these tires stick to wet and dry pavement. As mentioned in other reviews, they're noisy... but so is every other knobby tire. But for the capabilities, I wouldn't run any other tire off pavement.
