    Re: TKC80 on Africa Twin

    I have a t80 on the front and a e10 on the back of a Vara.24f/26r for dirt and tar.They work good till you start to push it hard in the dirt.I am going to try a 952 on the front and a e9 on the rear.

    I hear alot of good stuff about the mitas c21 on the front. Ive got one on my dirt bike (450) and I dont really like it (too hard for the terrain I ride)

    might work better on my AT, but Ill still fit the c02 on the rear.

    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.

    Well i've now done 1800 miles on the tkc80's and the rear is now touching between the blocks the front is hardly worn.
    I didnt think of doughnuts probably last longer than the tkc80

    The tyres are fantastic on and off road i've used them on my xr400 for the last couple of years i was getting 2500 to 3000 out of a rear on the xr.
    unfortunatly i cant afford to put a new tyre on the bike every couple of months so i,m going to try a conti escape £20 cheaper then the tkc80 and suposed to be longer lasting we'll see.

    I’ve used the TKC for years first on my AT and then on my KTM 950 and I would recommended them to anyone but I fitted a Dunlop 908RR last time. It looks more aggressive then the TKC it’s better in mud and has the same grip as the TKC so far it’s coming up to 4000mile and still going strong, if you can get it in a 17” for the AT, I would defiantly give it a go, I’m still using a TKC on the front.
