Tyres; conti TK 16 - any good?

[Ogmios]

pardon me - i did search first but found nothing.

anyone got experience of Continental TK 16 tyres on the front of an R100gs?

need a new front soon / a local place has this cheap.

no point though if it's cr*p.

using Tourances at the mo - very happy with them. but the front is low on tread and getting "fidgety" over white lines and such.

TIA.

Ogmios I had them on my R100rs good tire good mileage. But I would say this, you have a dirt bike, stick to the Tourances. Also a good tire, so if you ever venture off road, you know that gravel track as you ride through that unknown country side. you can with confidence hope this helps

BamBam,

Thank you.
yes, that helps.
tells me if something looks too good to be true.... it probably is .

was hoping to save a few bob (scary time of year; too much going out / not enough coming in!) but i'd rather be safe than sorry.

though admittedly, the only times the Bike is "offroad" is when parked on the pavement or when certain Tossers (you know who you are! ) lead me astray on rideouts

If its a matter of cash, try the conti escapes. They are a lot cheaper than tourances and in my opinion, as good on road and off.
