At various times I have had TKC 80's on both my BMW 1200 GS and my Yamaha 660 Tenere.
Yes, they are surprisingly good for a knobbly tyre, but no way would I agree that they are as good as a more road biased tyre.
In the dry OK, but in the wet they WILL lock up and slide more easily.
The knobbles also give more vibration at speed and are really only happy at certain lean angles (what feels like steps of 10 degrees).
Slow down a bit, don't brake or lean as hard. Ride accordingly and they are fine, but it is physically impossible for them to be as good as a decent road tyre.
.... and of course if you venture off road they beat the road tyre hands down :-)
