Lots of posts about these on advrider and some on ukgser. Don't think they cope with mud/gloop but then it is a 50/50 tyre.

I ran with the K60's for a while, can't say they were worth fitting. As previously mentioned they don't work in Mud and they don't last if you use them a lot on the road, so to me all they did was look like a more off road tyre than the tourance's did, grip wise I never road on anything where the K60's worked where the tourances wouldn't have worked just as well.

I'm beginning to think that the whole concept of a 50/50 tyre is purely a styling exercise rather than offering any real practical benefit, although I stand waiting to be corrected on that.

Stevied1969, i think your statement should be the last/final word...period. I agree. It is either on or off-road. It is a pity though......

Will have to do with my trusted brands then...front Conti TKC and back Maxxis 6006.
Very happy with this combo. Ready to play!!!
Handling suppurb on gravel, sand, mud.
Maxxis is cheap and last a good 6000- 8000km, depends on my driving.
My previous TKc lasted 13 000km.
