TKC 80 off road tread depth recommendations?

[Ross Dean]

I have a pair of TKC 80s from my old 800GS that I want to put on my new one. The central tread depths are rear = 9.5mm and front = 6.5mm. What is the minimum tread depth for useful grip in off-road conditions assuming the going is muddy and hilly?

Impossible question to answer. However, if you end up in the hedge, you need more grip. If you don't, they're fine

whatever grips, or not.

you may be over-thinking it.......

You are right - the only reason I ask is because I am about to swap the tyres myself for the first time in my life and I don't want to be wasting the hours of fun and swearing I am about to 'enjoy'.

Plenty of tread left on them.
What are you - made of money.
Get them put on and don't change 'em until you can see canvas.
