WHAT!? I can't hear you!?
Just put a rear tire on a 1200GS last night and went for about a 100 km ride. The Anakee 3 is LOUD! Annoyingly loud. That's a shame, because the tire handles and grips very well, but I'm not sure I can handle the noise.

New Tires
These tires are perfect for the style of riding I do, which I mostly black top with a small percentage of hard pack. A good performance tire for a heavily loaded bike.

Super Tire
I read numerous reviews prior to purchasing the Anakee 3 and it seemed to receive consistently above average scores, prompting my decision to buy.
This tire is amazing. I'm running it on a 2014 V-Strom 1000 and just returned from a 9400 km tour of the US Southwest. It was entirely predictable through anything I threw at it. Tight twisties, long sweepers, you name it. Wet/dry - totally confidence inspiring. No Chicken Strips left after the first set of twisties on a bike fully-loaded with camping gear.
A bonus is the wear. Temperatures ranged from 25 to 50 Celsius (79 - 122 F) through Arizona and Death Valley. At the 10500 km mark now, there's still more than 50% tread left easily. And good resistance to squaring.
They sing a bit at certain speeds but this reduces after a while and is the only thing that detracts from what is a near-perfect tire - highly recommended!

Amazing dual sport tires
Installed these on my BMWR1200gs and went on a 3200km ride to BC on some of the top twisty roads out there!
Great grip! Amazing sense of confidence on these tires!!

Good wear
This is the third set I have bought , and the last one I got 23,000 km out of rear front I changed at 28000 km, they handle well in the curves , packed dirt and light gravel are fine, sand not so good, . For the riding I do mostly 2 up on paved roads they are great

Great tire... but noisy!!!
This is the tire my 2017.5 1200 GS came with. Great tire in most conditimost but I need to say this... these babies are loud on the road... to the point that I'm not sure if I'll keep them for long.

Stiff and noisy
Purchased this tire as a replacemen of the OEM tire. This is a much stiffer tire than the original. Have been riding mostly back road 2 lanes and cottage hard pack. Too early to tell about tread life. Tire starts to hum loudly at around 100kph, but goes away at faster pace.
