Strengths and weaknesses
A legendary, long-running dual-sport tyre for 250cc-650cc trail singles.
Where it's good
- Owners praise its tall, stiff block pattern for digging into ruts, gravel, and loose loam with predictability.
Where it falls short
- Riders note it produces road howl on tarmac and requires pairing with a sharper front tyre (like an MT21) to prevent front washouts.

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.
