Strengths and weaknesses
The factory standard on the Ténéré 700 and DesertX.
Where it's good
- Owners rave about its unbelievable dry and wet tarmac cornering grip, acting almost like a sport-touring tyre with knobby aesthetics.
Where it falls short
- While great on gravel fire roads, riders caution that it packs with mud instantly and provides zero lateral grip in wet 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.
