Motoz Tractionator Rallz Tires For Tenere 700 Many riders seeking improved off-road performance vs the oem Pirellis are going with the Motoz Tractionator Rallz tires in oem   90/90-21 54 TT front  & 140/80 18 TT  vs the oem  150/70 18 70 TL rear size.   RideAdv, a tour company with a fleet of T7s in Australia, along with many others, have been successfully running a Pirelli 140 rear size on the oem MT 4.00" safety/tubeless rear wheel.  Most adopters of the 140 rear vs the 150 oem size are motivated by improved off-road performance, higher speed rating, less weight &  cost.  Noted trade offs are that the 140 is 0.55" or 14 mm taller with a diameter of 681 mm vs the 150 667 mm (check for clearance with the oem shock/swing arm plastic mud flap), noisier, less proficient on the road & may unseat the bead with low tire pressures due to it's narrower bead spacing & sometimes softer carcass when used on a wider than Motoz recommended rim like the T7 MT 4".
