Does anyone ride only with TKC80's?

Does anybody ride day to day with TKC80's?

Whats the tyre wear like?

Whats the grip like?

Whats the 'feel' like?

Thanks, Dave

You'll get up to 7k miles, hard braking will affect the front wear rate
Loads of grip in the dry a bit less in the wet than road tyres
Skirm around on tarmac as the blocks move until they've bedded down

Yes, daily commute into central London and no issues. Of course they are not as smooth as road tyres but I don't notice now. Besides, when I do get her around Salisbury Plain in the dirt, they pay enormous dividends.

Last 125,000 miles on TKCs. Not a tyre for performance jockies who then complain they're shagged out at 3k miles. 7k is what I normally get on a rear, slightly more on the front.

As above, great tyre if offroad is your focus. OK on the road in the dry. Better than you’d think in the wet BUT they are offroad tyres and handle accordingly on the road. Far far better on road than MT21’s and the like but they really don’t last very long at all if you like a blast. Two sets of wheels if the way forwards

They're now old hat,get some karoo 2's,much higher silica content so much better in damp/wet,same crap milage though
