Don't get Malatesta Kaiman or other brands with the same tread pattern if you are using it on road a lot. They are very noisy.
Malatesta as a brand are excellent though. I have a set or Kaimans I've had for years with no signs of aging or going hard. They'll never be the grippiest on road but they are good considering the tread pattern!

For regular on-road use, especially if driving a bit sharply, MT tyres can be outright dangerous in wet or frigid situations.
And they usually wear rather fast&loud.
Having driven on MT's on road for years I disagree. You might have to be a little sensible but even with extreme Muds I find the grip of mine to be good. Not as good as a road tyre but not too bad either.
