ive read a lot on these on adventure rider

and the k60 thread here ...

theres a load of posts but the k60 and the scout are getting way different reviews
which has made me give em a go

the scout is a different profile but only available in 140 /80

ive decided to give them a go

i cant possible see how they could be worse than the sirac off road as mentioned in the thread

in fairness to the sirac they seem a decent road tyre and ive ridden som filthy shiny 3degree tarmack and they have been on a par with all the other usual suspects ...

i fitted the scouts and have only done 15 miles in the filthy dark and cold ..brand new ...but they seem good given the circumstances ..

since i fitted them this happened grr

a lot of peiople [adv rider] have rated the scout rear as very good most have been pleased with it

the front has got mixed reviews

a lot have gone scout rear and tk front ....

all have said thet the scout gives huge milage on gs 800s
and 1150 adv and the like

nearly every post rates them better on the road than the tks

having destroyed a tk on 1200gs in 1800 miles ive plumped for the scouts
ive not had chance to do much with them yet ill update warts and all
im looking for a long distance 50/50 ..

the siracs are usless off road on anything other than dry or hard packed surface ive learned that /knew that before i dabbled

ive used kenda track masters for heavy off road before and they are fantastick ..
im expecting a trade off here but am hopful they wont spit me off as soon as it gets loose ....

heres the tyre
k60 scout
90/90 21 140/80/17
