the motoZ tires are very good for duel sport & ADV bikes...
long lasting and have quite a stiff carcase that suits
adventure style riding...gives you the ability to run the
tyre pressure down a bit for a bigger foot print but still
keep the rim away from ground/rocks etc....
the stiff carcase is also where they fall down for all out
dirt riding... it dosn't let the tire conform to the ground
as much at lower pressures as other tires do..

when a tire starts to wear & the nobs lose there edges
that when the carcase construction comes into play...
just got to look at the FIM rated tires that can only
have nobs no higher than 13mm they work because
of the way the carcase is constructed...
big jucey nobs are great on a new tire but for
a tire to work when getting worn what the
nobs are connected to is very important aswell
maybe even more so...
