Mike101 is on a distinguished road
Yesterday i went from a set of scorpian trails to K60 scouts..so i can give you some first hand knowledge.

The scorpian trails on my tenere were fab...so good in the wet and dry.

When i first rode on the K60's i stopepd straight away as i thought the rea wheel was coming off. But it wasn't!

The front end feels heavy to turn now and felt like it would give out in every corner.

The rear moved all over the place and made the bike feel very unstable above 50 mph.

With the scorpian trails it's grip all the time but not much feel...the K60's give a lot of feedback and you can feel the grip before it is about to go.

The roads yesterday and today were wet, icy and not much fun in any way.

But it's not all bad....i had 30 mins in the mud and WOW...!!!!

So back to the road...i was running the sam PSI as the trails....it felt like i was riding across marbles al the time. So i have dropped them both a few PSI..not much..just a 2 second burst of air...and now it's so much better.

I have been told that K60's can take up to 1k to scrub in so i'm going to work at that...200 miles down already.

I've not used TKC's but they will feel simliar to my K60's i bet.

Expect them to feel very different...even broken...mess about with the PSI in both tyres.

It's early days for mine but i think they will be good in a bit.

Hope this helps.
