2023 ADV GUIDE P197 KENDA BIG BLOCK TIRE $Contact Dealer for Prices II www.kendatire.com The Kenda Big Block tire gets its name from the tread pattern. The 50/50 tires have bias belting and a casing structure that is puncture resistant. Wide blocks improve tread wear, increase surface area and eliminate knob roll. The rubber compound is formulated specifically for wet-slick and dry- hard-packed terrains. They are available in nine popular sizes for tubeless setups. METZELER KAROO 4 TIRE $Contact Dealer for Prices II www.metzeler.com Metzeler's Karoo 4, successor of the Karoo 3, is a 50/50 tire with scoop-shaped tread blocks for maximum traction, even in soft or muddy terrain. A stiffer carcass structure and a new multi-radius profile than the previous Karoo promotes line holding and cornering grip, while dual-compound rears offer enhanced grip under heavy loads. It is available in 19- and 21-inch front and 17- and 18-inch rear sizes. MICHELIN ANAKEE WILD TIRES $Contact Dealer for Prices II www.michelinman.com The Michelin Anakee Wild ADV tire, available in 13 sizes, is a single-compound tire with a tread inspired by Michelin's Dakar Rally-winning Desert Race tire. The 50/50 radial tire has sidewalls that flex independently from the crown, which is said to improve the footprint and reduce wear, especially on the pavement. The staggered tread pattern is curved for grip in soft conditions and it also helps the tire shed mud or stones. Bridges between the outer blocks help with wear and cornering stability.
