After too many hours of research, finally decided on the Michelin Anakee IIs. Ordered them and scheduled to have them mounted and such with the 12K service.
Turns out, these are on back order. Michelin has an odd approach to inventory.
Went with the Metzeler Tourances, front and back. 
These were my second choice anyway, can’t be too dissatisfied.
Count me shocked at how odd these things felt. I stopped before I left the parking lot to make sure one wasn’t flat!
I know, new tires are slick. These things? Before I got home I was wondering if I could get a refund or exchange. Not something I wanted to ride for the next couple thousand miles.
They started to feel better and now, with about 300 miles on them, they’ll do. I can’t say anything for off-road or even rain yet, but dry, they’re holding on much better.
Next time, I’ll order the Anakees around January? Maybe I’ll stick with the Tourances.
