Strengths and weaknesses
The long-standing benchmark for 50/50 to 40/60 dual-sport tyres.
Where it's good
- Owners love its predictable, soft-compound road grip and confidence on dry trails and gravel.
Where it falls short
- Riders consistently note that rear tread life is short (under 3,000 miles on big twins) and the closely spaced blocks quickly pack with sticky British clay.
Based on aggregated owner feedback and independent tyre reviews, not a single source.
Holloway ratings
Seven separate scores, not one blended number, since a tyre that's brilliant in mud can be miserable on a wet motorway link, and vice versa.

Remember: a tyre's real character also depends on how worn it is, what pressure it's run at, and the bike it's fitted to. A great green-lane tyre on the wrong pressure, or worn past its best, can behave nothing like its rating suggests. Check the lane's own hazards and current conditions before you go, not just a tyre score.
