Tyres

[Barney84]

Hi all
I'm buying a super tenere 750 and was wroundering which tyres to put on it
I will be doing a lot of off roading with it but also a bit of road riding to
I don't mind riding on nobblys
So if any one could help on the tyre descion that would be great

This time of year a bike that heavy if defo go knobblies.

I think MITAS is a range I see on a lot of big bikes who want knobbles.

I also think a lot of people use Continental TKC80s on big bikes. They say they wear quickly, but also that they have good grip on and off. I think they are very popular... Mitas E 09 should last a bit longer and look similar.

Another ones to consider are the Heindau K60. More road oriented and will last longer. Very capable in good hands.

I have to admit that this info is from what I have read, as haven't tried them yet, but will be trying the TKC80s soon.

I didn't like the TKC. Compromised on and off road IMO. It's what the GS riders use so they can look like Charlie. Heindau was a nice tyre but harder to get hold of (although I bought mine in the winter a couple of years ago so that may have sorted itself out now).

I've been toying between the K60's and the Karoo 3's. Both of which I think are 50/50 tyres so give reasonable balance between mileage and off road ability.

The main selling point for the K60s is the longevity and the wet grip on the black stuff

Some good info here.
