Michelin Anakee 2's all the way from me too. I took them all around Canada and Alaska, Dalton highway etc, no problems. Really good on the gravel roads and wet grip too. I won't be changing from them any time soon.

To test ride along at 35 mph and take your hands of the bars..... on all bikes i have ever owned, nothing happens.
