His this tyre still the best choice for rd and gentle off roading on XTX given tyre size choices ? I really want to do more off roading .
Thanks for any advice. cheers steve

If you can get a set of TKC's to fit,they are as good as you can get for on off road use.

This is the site I get my tyre's from,then get them fitted at BFM In shipley.

Basil now uses these and say's they are very good and they last.

Heidenau K60 130/80 -17 RF TT 69T M/C �59.20

These are what I like to use...Continental TKC 80 Twinduro 130/80 -17 TT 65S M/C, �67.70


free postage also

Depending on what type of off roading your doing i would say the TKC80's will handle it ok. I bought a set in easter when i went off roading in wales. I think the rear lasted around 3k miles or so but i did have to travel all the way from northern ireland to wales so alot of miles on the middle of the tyre. Fronts still fine and took it off as might do some more off roading again on my year out on uni:happy2:.

As for price i think thats a bit steep i think got mine from MandP.co.uk and i think they cost �110 all in to Norn Ireland

As for the Avons havent tried them yet but bought a set off Jasxt and have them waiting in the garage:040:. hmm new rubber

Thanks,lookin into tyres this wkend .keep us informed with any updates on tyres will do the same.cheers steve
