The MT21 is still a bit of a compomise tyre, slightly better off than the TKC, but not as good on. For full on off use, whilst remaining road legal, I use a Michelin T63 rear, and a Enduro Comp 4 or Metz. 6 days extreme on the front. The pair will last about 2000 miles, but they're good miles! .

Off road Pirelli MT21s, on road Metzeler Tourance - not tried Conti TKC80s ( so not offering an opinion as I have not tried them ). Lots of others tried and the only ones I really disliked were Michelin T66s which were pant crapping bad in the wet - someone will now come along and claim the T66 as the best ever wet road tyre.

Conti escapes are excellent tyres both dry and wet on road (not too good when the going gets muddy) ---but i cant seem to get anymore than 4000 miles out of a back

A good place to start is the forum's very own tyre poll here...

*NEW* Tyre Poll

Whilst looking at that I'd reflect on how happy you've been with your current set of tyres. Have you used them on-road, off-road, or both? Do you intend to change where or how you ride?

If you settle for what you know and end up wanting another set of TKC80's, a forum member djadams has them for sale here...
