Karoo vs TKC80

[Cary]

Fair enough

Last quote I got for a Karoo rear was a horrendous $410 (Karoo 2 i think) so have not bothered since.

Stick with the TKC front though, great on both surfaces.

Yer just waiting to hear back from the mitas importer. Will get the TKC front though.

Not telling till i've got my hands on it!
But it's $250, rear is $310.

Just heard from sales guy at Forbes and Davies. They're bringing in the Karoo T from september. Should wear a little better.

I may be a cheap klr'ista but $560 for a set of adventure tires that can be nuked in a couple of weekends seems obscene

I find knobbies offer so much more bite in gravel and mud that I won't be fitting TKC80's again. Plus a $300 set of D606's or similar will last 5000k front and 3500k rear offer far better value.

Unfortunately 606's dont come in a suitable size, but any other suggestions are welcome...

There's that southern accounting again.....

Yes indeed, these baby bikers don't know the struggles we have

Where from & how much? I got quoted $600 a set.....

Cycletreads.
They should still ahve a rear there for $310 fitted (150/70 17)

Just picked up the front and my E09 has just been delivered too. When I get back from Taupo on sat morning i'll go get them fitted so I can play in the dirt!
