Strengths and weaknesses
The standard OEM fitment on many premier adventure tourers.
Where it's good
- Owners praise its rapid warm-up, superb wet-weather braking, and long tread life.
Where it falls short
- It handles dry gravel roads and farm tracks with ease, but riders confirm that the shallow tread voids pack instantly with mud and offer zero side-bite in ruts.

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.
