TOTAL MILEAGE OBTAINED: 6447 { with still about 1000 miles left in the rear and only removed because we intend to do around 1500 in the next 2 weeks and dont want to have to mess around fitting a new tyre while in Scotland . The Front Tkc 80 was only half worn and is to be used again when I fit a new rear Tkc in the winter.
FINAL COMMENTS ON TYRES PERFORMANCE:
Tkc 80 turned out to be a excellent alround tyre. used for out 4500 mile round trip to Morocco. riden two up / in the dry and wet, and also a lot of off road use. They were tested down to 4c and as high as 44c and still offered excellent grip in all conditions.

TOTAL MILEAGE OBTAINED:9000km
FINAL COMMENTS ON TYRES PERFORMANCE:great tyre in terms of performance, reaches working temp. very quickly, offers great grip, only bad side is wear.when i've done around 7000km i didnt have any grooves on the side of both tyres i cut around 1mm of groove on the sides but it lasted around 1000km so basically i am riding on tyres with insufficient groove depth for the last 2000km.

i heard that the new roadsmart2 will have the same characteristics and better mileage than roadsmart. my choice for 2013 is continental sportattack2 i read i my local moto magazine that these are for "corner seekers" and i got them at a good price(210� and 6� delivery). i also want to see the difference between a touring(dunlop roadsmart) and a sport(conti sportattack2) tyre.
Hope this helps someone :)

How strange is that, I've been working in London since 2001 and riding up through the Blackwall Tunnel from Rainham in Kent virtually every day, and it wasn't till I started reading this tyre thread yesterday I just found out where Essential Rubber are based!! turns out I've been riding/driving past them every day!! They are tucked away and you do have to look carefully but its handy to know and I will be giving them a call as soon as my tyres need replacing.

I dont know how they last but.....
