metz karoo 2 tyres

My GSA came with these as standard and now there getting a bit scrubbed in I can't believe how good they are,much better than I remember the tkc80's ever being,even today caught in a shower of almost biblical scale that saw the road turn to river in minutes they performed well,recommended

I've been running them for a while now (got some sets dirt cheap from the local BMW dealer. They came off bikes that owners said they didn't want the tyres).

Unless I can source some for similar prices, I'll be going back to TKC's. They're very similar to TKC's in terms of wet and dry grip, wear isn't too bad (possibly the TKC has the edge), it's just that they seem to be much more affected by load, requiring lots of suspension fiddling. That said, my bike is an 1150 Adventure fitted with Ohlins, the 1200 with ESA might be a different matter.

Anything (for road use only) is better than the TKC80

Depends how good a rider you are.

I can't keep up with my mate Mark, he's on TKC's and I'm on Tourances yet he clears off in the twisties like he's on sports rubber.

Terrible mileage - most cannot get 3000km out of them this side of the pond and many half this EEk!
