If you want a standard tire and not oversized or off-road, you can’t do better than Michelin defenders. The just don’t wear, and they’re great all over Colorado. I take them camping and I get less noise and good gas mileage on road, and I’ve never been stuck offroad. Great in the snow too.
I freaking love my Michelin LTX A/T2. I’ve got about 45K on them and they look like they’ll go another 30. So quiet and compliant.
Currently running Kenda Klevar RTs and I think they are my favorite to date, super quiet on road, just did elko to Austin via the BDR, no issues in mud, they were so comfortable on the trail today that I never stopped to air down, great in the rain, got mixed up in the crazy rain in Utah Sunday and no issues. I’m also partial to the kendas because they offer 35x10.5s
I run my Klever RT closer to 35psi. Haven't had any issues, even with a jacked up alignment.
So far I have almost 2000 miles on them and they feel and look just as good as new.
I can only talk about the X-Ice Snow and for only one season, its probably the best performing winter tire I've used and is rather quiet. They claim they'll outlast their major competition but I can't verify.
The Michelin Road 5 and Road 6 have a "GT" version with an extra ply for heavier bikes. I have Road 5 GTs on my RT and Road 6 on another bike and they're pretty great.
I ditched the runflats and got Michelin pilot sport 5s. Best thing I ever did
went with stock michilin michelin primacy using the warranty (had to change out at 26k miles m3 LR AWD, warranty 45k)
I have nothing to add but that my X-Ice 3s are terrible on wet and dry pavement.
