If you had to have a set of tires waiting for you in Fairbanks to make a trip up the haul road, then be able to get you back as comfortably as possible to Az., what's the tire/s you have waiting for you to be installed.
I've read the older threads through, but there's newer rubber compounds and tires available now and looking for the more learned members opinions on what THEY would have waiting for them, expecting the worst of the loose gravel/mud, but having to then get back to Az. before replacing them with a 90/10 set of Tourances as I will use to get to Fairbanks that are on the bike now.
I realize there's no "best" for everything tire, and I'll deal with noise home on the hard surfaces without worry if the tires chosen give me a margin of error on the haul road should we experience the worst possible rain/mud/etc. 1/2 way into that road going north.
Keep in mind I have NO experience on dirt/fire roads/mud etc and don't have the time to get the experience before I head out in 6 weeks. I know there's some great tires available, just not sure what my best bet will be to have waiting on me in Fairbanks.
Thanks,
