Bridgestone Battlax Adventurecross AX41 Front Tire

I am waiting to burn through the Karoos that are on my F800GS to put these on. They look more off road biased than the 60/40 they are advertised as, which is good. Good sized lugs, similar off set pattern to the AnakeeWild(which performs great IMHO), and a fairly stiff, but not over stiff sidewall, should make for a great tire. I will update after my first 1000 miles. Should look nasty on the 800!

I've tried all the 50/50 knobby adv tires on the market. These by far have the most confidence inspiring feel on both dirt and pavement of all the others. the only down side is mileage. I got 2200 miles on them and they maybe have another 800 miles on them. but those 2200 miles were a mix of everything, concrete, asphalt, tar and gravel, hard pack dirt, gravel sand and soft dirt. we even hit rain and snow on this trip. tire worked great everywhere. I did wash the front out on a deep sand berm...but it was more rider than tire. even wear and no cupping on the front.. biggest surprise was on pavement.. tires really had more grip than expected.. so if you next big bike adv ride is a good mix of dirt and pavement and under 3000 miles.. this is the tire you want..
