As Fiddich says, it's trial and error.
However, the initial price for the TKC's might be high, but compare that to the price/miles you get out of a cheaper tyre? I can buy Enduro Comp's for less, but they only last 1000 miles... TKC's will last about 4k-ish with me.
Furthermore, off-road tyres that last longer are generally less grippy (due to the hard compound used). Better grip = less life ; Longer life = less grip
It all comes down to your own riding style.
I recently fitted some cheaper tyres (road bias) on the grounds that;
a) they were cheaper than the TKC's (for a road trip), and
b) I thought they might have better road manners than the TKC's
On first count, yes, but the second count, in my experience and with my riding style I wish I had usd the TKC's. Yes TKC's over a road tyre for wet weather riding !!!!
Hourses, courses, humps and bumps.... we all need different things at different times
