Nokian A10 [w/o studs] worked well under my touring load , they are a pretty heavy Black tire ,
the rubber compound is really long wearing,
if it were getting another ply of casing fibers it could be a truck tire.
I carried warm gear to go from the end of one winter to almost the next winter. 9 mos.
My Koga came with Conti Travel Contacts, their adventure self contained, touring tire
for the tours that take you past the end of the pavement..
