TKC80 on Africa Twin

[Whealie]

You must know whether you had them rebuilt or not

I had a 140 on an RD04 standard rim on boboneleg's recommendation and that worked fine.

Excuse the extra T.

I had a 130 on an RD07 standard rim and it did not. It had no corners (still in the garage so I'll take a pic to show you).

Mind you, went to France for D-day and back on it, two-up. But Jeff, Bob and Cabby will vouch that it looked all wrong.

There's nothing wrong with extra T other than

Hmm. Pirelli MT-21 130/80 works fine for me on RD07. I'll admit I'm slow and usually go within local limits + fudge factor.

Speaking of TKC80 on Africa Twins, what has been you average duration for a mix of tarmac and gravel?

I'm planning to install a pair on my RD07A and I was wondering if they'll last a 5'500km tour, bike loaded, 90%tarmac, 10% gravel

Thank you!

Get something like Heidenau K60s - much harder wearing

On the Aim For The Horizon - Home we ran the TKC80s. It was a round trip of 4400miles on tarmac and rough off road. I had to change my rear when I returned due to a massive lump out of the side wall but Deans still running his original set.

I honestly think it's a cracking tyre and was so shock they've lasted so well. I'd recommend them to any body who like a little off road on their road trips.

TKC is a super front tire.

TKC front with a heidi k60/Mitas e07 rear is a brilliant combo!

Front yes rear I doubt it I’ve done about 1500 miles on mine and the rear is well over half worn

[sixtring74]

Half worn at 1500 miles!! You should cut down on those donuts

So glad you liked the DVD, and it's superb you've enjoyed watching it more than once. Morocco sounds great. You can do everything there a real adventure only 2000ish miles away. TKC80s will work perfectly there.
