Tyres on new Dakar - Metzeler Enduro 3 Sahara

[topper]

New Dakar coming with Metzeler Enduro 3 Saharas fitted as standard front and rear - any good?

Should I stick with these (they seem to be a reasonably agressive tyre - more off road than the Tourances, according to the Metzeler website) or should I nego quick and ask them to change them for TKC 80s or even Tourances (we'll be 80% on road).

Any experience/comparison of these tyres would be appreciated.

Cheers

Most people seem happy with End 3's.
I've got Tourances on mine and grip is good with them

TKC 80`s are LESS road biased than Enduro 3 Sahara.

I`ve got Enduro 3 Sahara tyres on my 800 G/S at the moment.
They may appear chunky and aggressive in pictures,but they`re rounded in profile,and fine on the road.

My Dakar came with Enduro 3s,I hated them in the wet - very twitchy.Running Anakees now - excellent!
