Good morning everyone!
I'ts time to put some new sneakers on the bike.
I've had a look at various options on what to get. Seeing that I do 80/20 tar/gravel I want to make the best decision to my riding style.
At first I opted for a 50/50 tyre, something like a E-07 or a Heidie, but getting only +-8000km (depending on riding style) it just wouldn't justify seeing that I do 80% on tar. I would love to get the best of both worlds but unfortunately it's not possible.
Currently I have Anakees on and I'm quite happy with them.
I'll probably opt for them again, and this brings me to my question.
I heard some guys use a front Anakee and a rear Metzeler. Looking at the Metzeler I can imagine getting more grip off-road and apparently you get the same mileage on them as the Anakees. Is it true?
Otherwise, should I just go with the Anakees front & rear again?
I'll appreciate your input guys.
Cheers!
