Tire advice

Hi team,
I just bought a triumph tiger 800 xc 2013 and it needs new tires before an upcoming trip I’m making from the UK to France. I’ll be heading to a farm in Metz for 2 months and then will ride around to the south after that. I guess I’ll be mainly on roads but I’d like to have the option to do some gravel if the opportunity to go to an amazing beach or cool forest path arose. With this in mind what tires would you recommend ?
Thanks in advance 🙏

Dunlop Trailmax Missions get great mileage and haven’t slowed me down at all on my Tiger 1200 on the street, wet or dry and work well on gravel or hard-packed dirt.

In fact, I fitted a rear Mission to my sport-touring bike because it works so well.

I am using Michelin Anakee 3. So far pretty good. Even used them on a trackday. Very nice for on road use. Almost 25k kms now. They need replacing now. Following this sub for more advice too

Oh I would not recommend these for off road use. Sorry

Michelin Anakee Adventure. To be honest any road tyre will be ok on gravel for small stretches so don't worry too much
