Best on road/off road tyres for R??

My tyres have just about given up the ghost after 6200 miles since september!!!

i was wondering has anybody found a particular type of tyre a good compromise for the R with offroad and on road capabilities??

cheers all!

TKC80 are great. Mine is a Z, but it became a whole new bike with the tkc. Not as good as the MT21 or Karoo in mud and sand, but as dual sport tires they rock. Basically onroad tyres with offroad pattern.
