Brand new TKC70.

They are awesome, just what the bike needs.

�154 and hopefully good for about 10,000 miles

Running Tkc80 at the moment but thinking of mitas eo9 Dakar or golden Tyre gt 201, i know two totally different Tires but still not decided!!...

My new 'german friends' (memo explorers), replacing the second hand ones I had before. I was told they give excellent mileage. I am quite happy with them on the road, but not enough fire roads to have an opinion yet. I have also put in mefo heavy duty inner tubes as after my flat of last year, I have this great fear of being stranded with a flat tyre in a remote location.

Mitas E07 at the back and Conti TKC80 in front.
They work well on tarmac as well as in the dirt.

A plus vote for the mefo heavy tubes,good quality tubes..

Hi
How does this combination work on wet tar, eg The daily UK commute?
Thanks

I have subsequently changed the back Mitas E07 for a Pirelli MT90.
The E07 back only lasted just over 3000km whereas on my previous BMW800GS it lasted much longer (about 8000km).
That combination works fine on wet tarmac roads and very well on dirt. But in South Africa we definitely don't have the lousy wet weather of the UK.

Vaun I'm dead happy with the Mefo's even on wet tar on the occasional commute. And they were pretty good today on the gnarly gravel bits. If they give me the miles some claim, I will not change to anything else again.

No way! just saw where you're from - I was just over there, a few weeks ago. My Dad lives in Bathurst, I flew into PE (connecting from JHB) from UK. I grew up in Natal & Zimbabwe! lol
