HP2 Tyres

[(RIP) maverick]

Took the Metzeler Karoo off last night and it is pretty much knackered after 5200 miles Decided to try the TKC on the bike and to be honest it just does not have that hard look to it as the Karoo has It is nice to actually get some feedback off the rear tyre now as I have always found the TKC's a pretty decent tyre.

Will see how long it lasts compared to the Karoo. Tyre was a bitch to break the bead and get off the rim. Even more time to get the tyre inflated again on the tubeless rim but all sorted now

Is that a typo ??? should that read 520 miles rather than 5200 miles. I put a new Karoo on 200 miles before the cambrian Rally which was about 250 miles and its all but knackered already

Tou must have been riding over cotton wool fields

Nope that is not a typo It is all in the wrist mate...all in the wrist Sadly most of those miles was all done on tarmac commuting in and out to work

Jeez Mav 5200 MILES???????

I have TKC's on my HP, done about 2500Km(mostly off road, high speed and technical(DAYTONA/De Wildt)) riding on them, they may last another 1000, but then again i'm going riding on sunday and if i ride it like i rode last weekend, it'll only last 500.

I get about 5000-6000Km on the Adventure.

Rebel (wildog) uses Karoo's and only gets 1000Km odd, but rides the HP hard and ONLY offroad.
Have also spoken to a guy who managed to DESTROY a Karoo in 400Km.

Overall I'm very happy with the TKC on the HP.

I could but don't think it would change the fact that I have this amazing ability to get 20 times more mileage out of a set of tyres than everybody else
