Hi Ferg....I'm on my 2nd set of TKC 80's. I've had Karoo 3's and thought they were 7 out of 10 for tarmac and on the loose stuff were pretty fair too but the loose stuff here is dust and small stone on hard packed mud tracks. I thought the Karoos were the hardest to get off the rear rim. I switched to 80s because I heard they're softer and easier to get off a rim whilst in the middle of no where and I found that to be definitely the case.

I have had Siracs (5/10), Sahara 3's (7/10), Mitas EO8's (8/10). I change my own tyres with a Motion Pro bead breaker set and the TKCs have been so easy to get on and off, plus the 1st set lasted just under 6000 miles which really suprised me.
