saw a set of these on a GS today and just wonderd if anybodys had any experience of them they looked the part but are they any good

[lootch67]

Don't quote me on this, but from what I've heard they are good but wear even faster than the TKCs.

They're a bit vague into corners on wet roads.

I use these on my Vara in front! Improves driving on gravel roads, Biig difference to an ordinary on\offroad tire!

Oops, I clicked the quote button!!

I've heard the same from GSer's and KTMist's, they can be very short lived.

How is the Pearl, Chad? (I feel like an extra from Pirates of the Carribbean! Where can I get one?)

I've seen then in use, grip is sticky stuff is better than TKCs, don't know about the wear rate though.
Try something a little more - Michelin T63 rear and a full on Comp. 4 front!!
Run these at 29/29 psi on the road, and 10/10 off it, they seem to grip very well. The front is even wearing well, 400 miles+ so far and it looks untouched!

I used them in the USA, great off road, **** on road, and I wore out a pair in about 4000 miles, prob cos too much on road, and being a wimp off road. Ideally would just be for off road use

Just my thoughts

sounds about the same wear rate as TKCs then only the TKCs are the dogs appendages on road as well
