My little Varadero 125 (yes, I know but we all have to start somewhere) has Trail Wing tyres fitted. Would I be right in thinking that these are a cross between on-road tyres and off-road tyres? Would they have less grip on the road in both wet and dry conditions than a "normal" road tyre? Or, as a last resort in wet conditions should I consider riding on the grass verge?  |

I have Tourances fitted to my R1150GS and they give enough grip to get the pegs down (well its the centerstand that hits first on the left). They are 'Duel purpose tyres' but off road they are scary with such a heavy bike. . Never had any problems in the wet with them either. ____________________ Andy Sez....
