Ran the E07s on my KLR. Outstanding tire as well.

I ordered a set of the Karoo 3s. They should be here Monday or Tuesday. I will do a full review once they are mounted.

I immediately liked the Michelin Anakee Wild Off-Road Tires. That's a good tire option for your iron horse.

The Adventures are very good tires on-road, but not great off-road. They are classified as 80/20.

If you're going to be primarily running on the streets but want a capable offroad tire, run (don't walk) to get a set of Dunlop TrailMax Mission tires. They're classified as 50/50 by the manufacturer, but they're a rounded-profile tire which is much better on the street than a knobby like the Anakee Wilds. And their off-road performance is much better than an 80/20 like the Anakee Adventures. And, get this, they're supposed to deliver about 8,000 miles per set. Compare that to the Anakee Wilds, which will be shot after about 3,000 highway miles. Another bonus is that they're speed-rated T, as opposed to the R of the Anakee Wilds, so if you had to go fast on the street, the Dunlops will support higher top speeds than the Wilds. Not as fast as you could go on the Anakee Adventure Scorchers, those are rated V, but it's still better than the R-rated Anakee Wilds.

The TrailMax Missions have been praised as the holy grail and unicorn of ADV tires. They only place they're not really good is deep sand and mud. If you avoid that stuff, they're reportedly an outstanding all-terrain tire. One could reasonably argue that deep soft sand and mud are places that a big heavy bike like the Pan Am really shouldn't be taken to, and in that context, the TrailMax Mission would be my go-to tire for a Pan Am.
Good Lord the trailmax is a nice looking tire compared to stock

Thanks for sharing, I just ordered the K60 scout. It was hyped on fortnine's YT channel. I germany they charge you for a rear Anakee wild 420 Euro, while the K60 Scout is along 140 euro. Plus the front 100 euro. I love the massive central pattern. Honestly I am a daily rider and this is a great feature for commuting.

Bravo! Thanks for this thread. It was very interesting to read about these tires. I've heard a lot about them from my friends who like to ride canyons and gravel as much as I do. I think that despite all my flaws, I will give these tires a try. Of course, the clarification about having to put more effort and lowering the steering wheel in corners freaked me out a bit, but that's okay. I can handle it. I have enough driving experience on this one. The main thing is that you warned me, thank you. I seem to have seen tires like this at the online store https://www.sticky-stuff.co.uk/. This site provides a large selection of motorcycle tires for many motorcycle and scooter models. Good luck!

My PAS is currently at the dealer getting a set of Mitas E07+ Dakar mounted. I will be heading off-road this weekend and report back.

Let us know about the tire clearance when you get the bike back. I thought it was posted somewhere that with the Mitas E07+ tires were extremely close to the front fender

I believe that person was referring to having to remove his front fender extender.
