The Ten is at best at speed, its weight will help you to push/plough through/over most of the obstacles you'll encounter.
Tires are OK. In really sandy/muddy conditions you might be more comfortable with enduro tires (like Michelin Enduro Competion IV). Run them at about 1.0bar / 14,5 psi for more grip on slippery grounds.

Oh guts isnt the issue but after years of riding some of Wales finest forests, trails and slag heaps on enduro machinery, doing it on these bigger bikes is a whole new ball game... coupled in with the fact ,I dont really want to stuff it up to bad and bend it ( as its my only pride and joy now) and dont want to get 200 kgs on top of me, especially on my own.
I am off down Pembroke on Sat for a road ride so my tyres have to be a compromise for do a bit of everything, but I always loved Enduro Comps on my dirt bikes, dont think I would use them on the Ten

I would never really run at those on big bikes, I seem to be finding 24 psi ok so far, but did go out the other day with 32psi!! (No wonder it didnt track great )

I love these on the front with a T63 rear... that was my combo on my XR400 for long range dual sporting
