knobblies on a Sertao - T63's or TKC's?

[iainnic]

So, I'm looking at knobblies for the Sertao. I've used TKC's in the past on the 800, and noticed that the manual for the Sertao states Michelin T63's

Any views or experience on the T63's ? Not used them before

Not used t63s before but will be running one on the front for the Lands End Trial. Personally neither would be my first choice. I really like Karoos but will be looking at the Mitas range next.

Metzeler karoo 3 for me. Tremendous rear traction off road, good on road in wet and dry.

Just been doing some research and the Heidenau K60 seems to be rated quite well, good on and off road and hard wearing. Has anyone tried them?

I have run a pair of K60s for over 7k now and they are great tyres. Really stable handling with no white lining, loads of grip in the wet and capable of running to the edge of the tyre when loaded up in the dry on tight Italian hairpins. I ran an E09 rear with a TKC80 front for a while and that was OK on road and better than the K60 in the mud.

Thanks Dubber, good to hear that. Will definately bear that in mind when I need to get some.
