Continental Conti Twinduro TKC80 Dual Sport Rear Tire

I received the tire I ordered promptly and with no problems.

Ordered F&R as a set due to rear wearing out before front. Got about 5,000 m on the rear on my 1150GSA, front still has a lot of life left

The TKC is in my opinion the best 50-50 tire on the market. Gray off road traction in all conditions, and surprisingly good on-road traction for a knobby. The only drawbacks are tread life and cost. Typically 4k miles rear and 7-9k front.

I replaced a 140 Heidenau with a 130 TKC on my hopped up KLR. The 140 I replaced was really to big it rubbed and I had to cut the chain guard and it was tough to bead, so I went with the 130 I see this tire on a lot of KLR's and it is definitely a lower profile I noticed a slight weaving at freeway speeds and will have to drop my forks a few mm to stop it, thats not really a problem, it works great on the street and handles stutter bumps and rides better than the Heidenau but the traction SUCKS. My worn out Heidenau would hookup on the hard stuff and this TKC will spin . I might have been a little high on air I was running 30 hot off pavement most hard pack and small rocks but this tire just did not want to hook up. I cant rate the durability yet but I have seen enough of them to know it will not last as long as the front which is how long the heidenau lasted, grante dit cost 1/3 agian as much and would have been all but impossible to break the bead on the trai fortunately i did not have to find out. I dont think I will be running this tire again! I am going to try the 130 Heidenau next time.
