    Has a soft rubber so grips well on hard surfaces..
    no chunks riped out & nobbs retained there leading edges quite well..
    130/17 is $150

    Up to 2000km & is less than 50% worn...
    4000km plus looks lightly.....

    PS...
    Mr Howie.. Where did you pick one up for $118 ?

    I get my tyres through TSS Red baron in Lower Hutt. They always seem to give a really competitive price on them.

    New Mitas Tyre in town... they are thinking/hoping it might be a better compettitor for the TKC80 front...
    Dirt Action Services, Saxon Street have a rear here in ChCh now, fronts still coming.
    17" or 18"(can't remember) rear (pic attached) sitting next to TKC80 rear mounted.... Mitas 644 Army rear cost about $188.
    Mitas Army 21" Front expected to be about $139 so if the front works as well as the TKC front then may be worth a go at that price.
    Front pattern is said to be very much the same as the rear one in picture attached.
