The T63 imho is the best one for a 50% off, 50% on. I have use for AT least 30.000 km and they satisfied me at all.

I had a set on my XR650R and they were a good trail tyre, but found they didn't last all that long with mixed use... that might have been because the 650R is a bit of an animal mind you!

T63's

We used T63's and MT21's on our Trans America off road trip. The T63 rears are an ace DOT tyre and lasted very very well. The front T63 wasn't so good on the road sections but we did 6000 miles of mainly Gravel and dirt roads.
The best combination for us was T63 rear and MT21 front. The MT21 fronts did dish out quickly when we go back on the roads heading for Baja though.
You can't beat the T63 for cost per mile on DOT tyres. Our Tourance's haven't lived up to the reputation as a lasting tyre so fitting Heidenau K60's next week.
Hope that helps. The Baja 1000 was fantastic by the way.

Good tyre on tar and wet tar. Good on trails but won't last long.

Ran them for a while on my old 660z and would agree with above, suprisingly good on Tar not so good in deep gloop and do wear fast so maybe 2kmiles max if relying on "off road" grip , probably longer before they are illegal for road use.
