    Not tried them personally but I believe they are ok, and well rated.
    I've seen them on other bikes.
    Forum help and advice needed?

    Would you know how much they go for in this country??
    Funny enough just thinking about your reply to my other thread.In german schools the kids learn english now straight away from there first year unlike here where my 13 year old daughter just finished her first year of french and does german next year but in germany they do not do IT till they are well into high school where abouts my little one had already IT for a while.

    So language should not be a problem i think and remember there might be a free barrel of beer for our first national XRV meeting waiting

    The Karoo's are more offroad type tyres and would certainly not last long on the tar. They are the dog's danglies offroad though and might even go on the ledge here and say they are better than TKC80's. The TKC's are unbeatable for dual purpose though.

    I think Yen had a Karoo lying in his garage so might have more expierence with them.
