I love my Aprilia Tuareg 660 and like to take it on the trails, which is the main reason I got the bike. I had a set of MotoZ Tractionator Adventure tires fitted to the bike from new, which lasted almost 5000 miles, I then switched to the MotoZ RallZ tyres which were also great in the sloppy mud (but not as good as the Adventures), neither tyre were great on tarmac, but it was a compromise I was prepared to accept for such a capable and good mileage tire. Had that been that, I would have stuck with them, but I just couldn't trust the front not to deflate on me as it refused to seal on the rim and constantly lost pressure. I have heard this happening to others on various bikes, so felt justified in my frustration and have now switched to a Metzeler Karoo 4 on the front, I'll put a matching rear on once the current tyre wears a bit lower. So far it seems to be happily holding pressure, so I can trust it on a multi-day ride, and on the tarmac it has transformed the Tuareg, so much more confidence in the wet and dry. It is still noisy, but I can cope with that from a knobbly tire. I still need to test it out on the trails, but from what I have heard from others, I'll not be disappointed even if it is not quite as full on as the MotoZ tires.
Please let me know if you have tried the Karoos in the mud and how you got on with them, mileage etc. And please let me know in the comments if you have had a similar issue to me with the MotoZ tyres?
