I've been trying to figure out the best tires for my bikes for a long time. Most online reviews either don't compare many or are rather biased. It seems that Chaparrall Motorsports has finally put together a video that has some genuinely useful information.

What I find interesting is that in the 50/50 Performance category, the two in last place are the two sets of tires that I have on my bikes right now, the Metzler Karoo 3 (on the 790R) and the Heidenau K60 Scout (on the XR650L "street" wheels). At least the Heidenau wins in the mileage category and I have something better on my "dirt" wheels.
I'll post the numbers if anybody is interested.
