I have been thinking about tyres for the longer rides, yes could do my work but nah
I run Michelin tyres and have spoken before as to why, here are my choices for the long rides, mind you I use the Deserts for Capertee, the grip is nothing special but it is constant and stays the same and is mousse friendly.

When we went to Cap York in 2004 myself and a few of the boys ran the Michelin Baja, these are a fantasic tyre, great grip and long wearing, few of the boys did the whole cape thing and more on a rear

90/90-21 TT 54R

Just some food for thought
