Hi Bonjo.
Actually, I liked them. Dry or wet tarmac, dry or deep muddy off road, very good. Stable and silent. I am not fast rider, tires easily outperformed me. After 16000 km front tire come to the end, 1-2 mm tread left. Rear tire, even with about half tread left, deteriorate so badly that I was really scared to keep it. On the last off road (with that tire), coming down from the mountain peak, cold weather, rain, grassy dirt road... I am still scared. I was sliding all over the place. Only God knows how i have managed to come to the tarmac without fall. And with all that relieve... they just continue to slide on the road. After one month, they were ok on dry, but even on slightest smell of rain, they were exiting again and I went for Heidenau K60.
After k60 I wanted more road biased tires and Tourances were not available here. Conti TA are fine on road, but for off road I had possibility to test my crash bars . It was more my mistake than tires. They are not suited for off road but it is doable (dry condition).
