It's probably a 95% / 5% split at best, probably more like 98% / 2% but the good highway tires are awful in the dirt.
Assuming that there will be a price to be paid in trad life, what's a good tire for this?
My 2016 Versys 650 LT came with Dunlop Q3's that I didn't care for.The first replacement was a Battalax T30 on the rear, then came a T30 Evo on the front. The next will be a T31 (T30 Evo replacement). I am very happy with the Battalax tires, and do not plan on trying any other manufacturer. Not really sure what you're looking for, but maybe if I shared my experience you might glean something from it. Regards!
