Great Dual-Sport choice - Dave IL
Recommended by Reviewer: Yes
Pros: Great handling
Cons: Stiff carcass makes for a strong tire but a challenge to mount by hand
My new Anakee 3's handle great on the road. My fully loaded GS tracks straight as an arrow at interstate speeds and goes through the corners like an egg going down a goose's neck After a 1000 mile trip I see no bad wear of any kind so, if I get as good of mileage as Michelin claims, I have found my favorite tires. The tire has surprisingly good grip off road and the stable feel instills confidence, even in this old-timer.
Michelin Anakee3 - RCPowell II AZ
Recommended by Reviewer: Yes
Pros: Michelin, Great stability,Great tracktion,Excellent balance
Cons: Looks strange, but not important compared to operation
First off, I'm using the 15070 X 17, on a Harley Davidson Softail-FatBoy FRONT Rim, I modified to use on my 2008 CrossBones. Springer Front End. The REAR Tire I'm using is the Michelin Pilot Sport 20550 X 17.The Anakee gives me additional weight, and better grip than anything else I have used up front. This includes Dunlap and Pirelli tires. I run this Tubeless and at 30psi. Same as the rear. The combination of Tires I have on this bike perform better than what HD offered in the stock form, in my opinion. Anakee 3 15070 X17 FRONT, Pilot Sport Plus 20550 X 17 REAR. I will stick to this combination.

I found Competition Accessories on a biker website by their good prices, wide selection and fast service. I gave them a trial and it was fantastic. I will be a return customer to support my several bikes.. Thanks from sunny southern California
Anakee 3 front and rear - David Watson UT
Recommended by Reviewer: Yes
Pros: Great handling tire.
Cons: None yet
Have only had the Anakee 3's on my V Strom 1000 for about a week. Absolutely love the the tires. Have been on wet pavement and twisties. Handled terrific. Haven't tried on dirt as yet, but expecting them to be just fine for an 8020 tire. I have a couple of friends that run the Anakee 2's and they are very happy as well. Would definitely recommend this tire to AT riders that are doing mostly asphalt with a 20 percent mix of dirt.
Michelin anakee 3 tires - jjm NC
Recommended by Reviewer: Yes
Pros: high quality, stable, light 'turn in', excellant small bump compliance
Cons: tires 'hum' between 60-70 mph
Bought 2 sets, one for Triumph Exp 1200 and the other for Triumph 800 Tiger. Only have about 600 miles on each set but on both bikes they are very secure feeling, turn-in is very light , they are very compliant on small bumps - irregular pavement, with very good gravel road traction for 9010 tires. Overall road traction and feel is excellent. The only slight annoyance with the tires on both bikes was a noticeable 'hum' between 60-70 mph, NOT a vibration. This was mostly cured by lowering the air pressure slightly front and rear.
Anakee 3s are great - Rick FL
Recommended by Reviewer: Yes
Pros: It is like riding a brand new bike
Cons: Super Tenere is still real spooky in sand
Mounted up a set of these on a 2012 Super Tenere. What a huge improvement over the OEM supplied Trail Wings It is like having a new bike, especially when you head into the corners. The sugar sand in Florida will do bad things but then again it is a pretty heavy bike and that is to be expected. Overall, spectacular tires and a great addition to the Yamaha.On top of that, super service from Competition Accessories
Anakee 3 Tires on a Super Tenere - MotoPumps NY
Recommended by Reviewer: Yes
Pros: Smoother, Quieter, Nice Handling
Cons: To Soon To Tell, None so far...
As always, great service, price, accuracy and speed from CompAcc Ordered on a Tuesday evening, delivered to Upstate NY on a Friday morning.Replaced a set of Anakee 2s on my '12 Super Tenere 1200 last weekend with these Anakee 3s. The 2s had 8500 miles on them and were not done, but had started to square off in back and sing a bit in the corners. I estimate the backs had another 1000 miles in them, and the fronts another 3-4000 to go. The 3s went on with a little more effort and seem to have a slightly stiffer sidewall on the rear. The fronts felt the same. There was no sign of mold release, and they were squeaky and sticky from the start. The rear balanced with no weight, and the front with two tenths of an oz. Nice There are no markers for heavy or light spots on my set.They are smoother and quieter, but still have a touch more hum than a pure street tire. I have only done one short gravel stretch so far, but they felt very stable and planted, with no hunting in the loose stuff like a pure street tire. On the road, they turn in with very neutral pressure on the bars and stay down in the turn without any additional pressure. They don't fall in under braking or stand up. Very light, neutral handling. Running 36 lbs on the front and 40 in the rear. Will try them two up this morning for the first time.Overall, very happy so far, and hoping for at least as many miles out of them as the Anakee 2s they replace. Since 90 of my riding is on paved roads, with gravel making up most of the rest, I think this will be a great tire. Ride SafeRobhttpmotopumps.com
