       Heidenau rear tire on my 690

       In my quest for the best 50/50 dual sport tires for my 2016 690
       enduro, I decided to try a brand suggested by a 690 rider friend
       of mine, Ron in Illinois. I was tired of the OEM Pirellis that
       gave me the creeps at speed on pavement, especially in corners.
       The rear wore out quickly and didn't impress me in sand when
       riding at Green River Utah. So I slapped on a set of Heidenaus
       and presto. Traction and stability on dirt/gravel and sticky on
       asphalt too. I haven't tried them in deep sand yet. I did
       balance them and they feel great at 70 mph. Plus they don't hum
       like the Pirellis. They are stiff and I set them by the heater
       vent for a few days before the instal in December. Take a look
       and give them a shot.

       I put a set of these on my 640 when we went up Inuvik a couple
       of years ago and was not impressed with the longevity. They
       performed well on the pavement as well as the gravel however
       after 8200 kms on the trip the rear was just about finished. I
       will be trying the Mitas E-07 on my new 690 and see what kind of
       mileage I get.

       That's about 5100 miles which isn't bad for an offroad bike. My
       OEM Pirellis made it about 3000 miles and were toast. The front
       wore very strangely with angles showing on each knob. There's
       lots of tires out there with different tread patterns and
       compounds. The search goes on.
