Tyres compatible with Mudsling on a GSA

[Nutty]

So, after deciding on Avon Trailriders for my new GSA, it turns out that they won't fit with the mudsling, without modification, so what tyres will fit on a GSA with a Mudsling fitted?

I've ruled out the following:

Anakee 3 - Too loud
PR4 - Too susceptible to punctures, and shite on anything other than tarmac

What other options are there? Ideally, I'd like an 80/20 tyre that is good at high speed on the road, and able to handle the odd green lane/ fire road (waitrose carpark).

I was under the impression those are 90/10 road focussed?

TKC 70 then?

TKC 70 then?

Will they fit with a mudsling?

Edit - they get VERY mixed reviews, with one chap blaming them for a high speed crash on the road.

Thanks Dave. How noisy are they, compared to the Anakees? Can they handle any offroad?

Conti TA2, fab tyres...............if they fit

Not easy after all then to find an 80/20 mudsling fitting tyre that doesn't weave

TKC70's on my GSA with mudsling. All good. No weave. Rock solid on road and ok on trails.

They would be my choice andylel plus I've heard the rears last ages.

I wonder if the weave was down to other factors - rider, loading etc

I'm going to give them a go as they have some reasonable off road capability for modest work in Morocco

Sling the mud sling, and fit the Avon Trailriders they are brilliant.

Don't think meant for off road but went up a few unmade roads in black forest when i ended up some weird tracks about 3 feet wide all gravel, no problems, stayed on which is always a winner in my book

Forgot other part to your question,no not noisy and very planted on the tarmac, wet and dry.

+1 what he said

Nutty can you confirm the Anakees are the ones that come with the GSA, new, and it's OK to fit the mudsling they are just noisy but don't catch the tyre?

Thanks

I had one of the first LC GS's before the mudsling was available, and wouldn't have a GS without one now. The peppering from stones on the final drive was terrible.
