Yes the new Michelin are the ones I’m waiting for ... had the 4s before but never get more than 2000 miles ... maybe it’s time to slow down a bit
I needed a new tyre on the back during a recent Spain trip.
Had an A41 fitted, keeping the PR4 on the front.
Handling is just as good as before, although the A41 seems to be a stiffer carcass so the ride feels a bit harder.
So far it has done 2600 miles, 1100 with a pillion and has 6mm left in the centre and hasn't flattened off..
I'm impressed so far.
Any latest updates on the A41,s
They are plenty good enough for me. I'm not a fast rider, nor do I explore the limits of handling, although I do ride quite enthusiastically and they feel good and have given me no moments of concern.
Cheers for that as I am in betwwen either trying the A41,s or the new Michelin Road 5 trail, still not decided yet as still have life in Anakee 3,s
I am in exactly this position. I think I’m going to give the Bridgestones a try. I am coming from Avon trailriders which have been okay but I fancy something different.
Don`t know much about tyres, but after reading some of the comments on here went for the A41`s, just got back from over 2000 miles around europe 2 up and fully loaded luggage wise, temp up to 37c and down to 12c and wet no issues at all and no squaring off which did happen last year after a similar trip on the Anakee`s.
Put a set of Trailsmart Max's on the LC prior to my holiday as the Anakee 3's were over 1/2 worn by 2200 miles , the TM's felt initially very similar to the Avon Trailriders but are proving to be a damned sight longer lasting .
The rear Avon Trailrider on the last GSA was down to 3.5 mm after less than 3000 miles , and the previous Dunlop TR91's on my old r1200gsa tc were also fast wearing , however, after 2500 miles the Trailsmart Max on the rear of the LC is still at 6.9mm and showing zero signs of squaring off.
They have proved excellent in 34 degree heat in the Alps and also performed very well in 15 degrees and 5 hours of biblical rain through Belgium last thursday
Are you riding 2 up Neil........or fully loaded.
Anakee 3's were solo use in the UK , both the Avons and the new Dunlops were two up with luggage with a mixture of highish speed Autobahn use and sticking to speed limits on rural roads in Belgium,Germany and Austria
