Hi Everyone,

I need to change tyres on my 2013 800 GS. Bike is used on gravel and tar. 70 gravel / 30 tar
Currently the original Pirelli Scorpion Trails are on 6800 km. They can probably do another 2000 km, but there are some small cracks visible.
I am planning a 7 day trip in August and it will be with pillion, don't want to take chances with old tyres.
Narrowed it down to the OEM Pirelli Scorpion Trails or the Michelin Anakee 3's.
I like the bike as it is, no head shake or other issues on gravel, even at high speed.
Feedback from anyone with experience on both would help a lot.
