Tire advice

Hi team,
I just bought a triumph tiger 800 xc 2013 and it needs new tires before an upcoming trip I’m making from the UK to France. I’ll be heading to a farm in Metz for 2 months and then will ride around to the south after that. I guess I’ll be mainly on roads but I’d like to have the option to do some gravel if the opportunity to go to an amazing beach or cool forest path arose. With this in mind what tires would you recommend ?
Thanks in advance 🙏

Advice needed 650gs engine sound

Hello I was looking at this bmw650 gs today and overall I found these issues:

  1. Chain and sprocket need replacing
  2. New tires needed
  3. Engine oil was a little dark - investigate.

I took a video of the engine running after a cold start - let me know what you think??

Otherwise bike seemed ok - comes with soft panniers, full service history (although about 1000 miles overdue for latest one)
Other recent work:
New front and back brake discs
Steering head bearings replaced
New battery
Has MOT until July

What would you pay?
