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.

Heidenau K60. Less known tyre (but this is changing rapidly), but very good compromise!

Vee Rubber.
Big article in the TBM mag a few months ago. Tested alongside the MT21, AC10 etc etc and came 3rd out of 20 well known tyres/brands. I have them on my off-roader. Fairly good on the road, excellent off the road. All down to preference really, not sure though if you would get 6K out of them for �70 all in incl postage
