Anakees are quite popular on big Beemers, though chiefly as a road tire. On-road the Anakees are admired for their stickiness and wet-weather performance. They last 6k+ miles on a big GS, so I'd add 50% to that to estimate their longevity on a KLR. On a KLR I'd think they aren't aggressive enough for 25% off, unless your off-roading is on dry and fairly solid ground. KLRs are light enough that they do pretty well on the street with knobby tires, so I think that almost any KLR that does off-road more serious than gravel roads can afford to wear more aggressive rubber. -Lujo [Non-text portions of this message have been removed]
