Tires Wheels Brakes

The TKC-80 has been a great tire choice for us. Off-road performance is great - confidence inspiring and stable in almost all conditions and at low PSI's they rarely feel spongy. On the road we're able to rail. Even in the rain they feel very planted (though we're often told they were terrible in the wet). <br /><br />Another complaint we can put to bed is lifespan. We rode from southern Germany to the Arctic back through the Baltic and half of Australia before replacing one set - a journey of 18000km (!) - granted, they were completely shot (super-cupped in the front, bald in the back). We rode with a fella who tried power-slides in every corner then complained about getting 2000km out of a rear - so it's really about how you want to use the tire :)
