New shoes for the Twin today. I thought I would give the Dunlop Trailmax Mission's a try since they are apparently a long wearing and very popular 50/50 tire.

The factory equipped Bridgestone Battlax Adventure A41's didn't last 6k miles. The sides of the front tire wore down faster than the center. That made turn-in's a bit sketchy as the bike would go from barely turning to plunging into the turn so much that I felt like I had to fight the transition, especially on gravel. Both of them reached their wear bars at about the same time, which is nice. The center of the rear seemed so thin I was worried about a rock puncture on my last ride.
