For many years now I have been running Avon Trailriders and found them to be a most excellent tyre choice. I’ve been through 4 rears.
Superb in both the dry and the wet. Confidence inspiring.
Great mileage too.
Best of all - made in Britain.
Alas, with the demise of Avon and no availability of new boots locally in sizes needed, today we have acquired a pair of Continental TKC70’s.
A new tyre to me.
£303 the pair fitted.
I have run TKC80’s previously which were surprisingly excellent on road - probably because they are very soft. Hence they wear out so quickly.
Great off-road on trails around Spain though.
New horizons await in September when I head back to France, Germany and Belgium for a few thousand miles to try them out.
Here’s hoping Continental match the Avon’s
