Have a look at Anakee wilds, read a few reviews etc.
As Mike said it's a heavy bike so you need to decide which you want to compromise, road or off road. Personally I'd get road bias tyres as they do dry dirt and gravel tracks fine, I've ridden on forest fire roads on road tyres quite a lot and to be honest road tyres work fine a slow speeds, it's just the odd muddy patch that you need to keep an eye out for.

Guilty. I've been conned for nearly 20 years now, and will continue to be so.

Good compromise tyre for the riding I do. (and are working well on the 1190R)
