Sir Scott, Keeper of the SYZ....I have made my decision as to which tyres I shall be installing onto my '18 Africa Twin DCT cargo sidecar rig.

Mitas Enduro Trail XT + Dakar...front and rear...and the sidecar tyre.

Great Choice! 🤩  Would look pretty stunning mounted to your steed on a set of black Excel Takasago rims (with the yellow lettering, of course).  😎

Scott, upon further inspection.....my next set of tires will be the Mitas Enduro Trail XT+ Dakar.....because the current tires that are on this bike are in very good condition,  and are the.....MotoZ Tractionator Adventure  tires.

So... basic_smile

Quick side note:

Since the Battlax AX41 on the sidecar was worn out, the old wheel assembly with the Metzler BlockK (4.00-18) was put back on the rig.  There is a noticeable improvement in rear lateral stability on the street.  Makes the Tusk 2Track almost reasonable.   Compromise is off road performance.  That decrease in lateral stability was noticeable even on a hard packed rough fire road.  

Thinking something like the Duro HF307 on the sidecar might be a good compromise, in concert with the more dirt oriented adventure tires I've been running.  Try to get a bit more balance for on road stability.
