Conti TKC 80 and rain ?
Hi,
I have heard some rumors and opinions that reflects on poor grip of TKCs in rain and in slipery conditions? Any quality expiriences ? Thx!

I didn't experience any probs in rain. IMHO the TKC80 is one of the best 'multi-purpose' tyres that perform well on dirt and on sealed roads. Not for extreme conditions though.
Also check the following thread: http://www.horizonsunlimited.com/hub...ert-tyres-3382 That tyre is in my opinion a great tyre for sand and loose gravel, but be very wary in rain on sealed roads :-(

Deserts are 18 inch tyre, I need 17 inch rear wheel. I used to ride on Michelin T63, somekind of Deserts for civil use- T63 is fantastic in slipery conditions same as on asphalt, but wears quickly and are iritating "soundy", so I would try to use something similar in offroad pattern. Here is popular Mitas E09, also very good tyre and very cheap, but my expiriences in wet are also tricky. Best regards,

I usually get 10kkm from a set MT63, and find it pretty good on most surfaces. It's a bit noisy at high speed, like other knobbies, but with earplugs it is okay. |
