Maxxis Dual Sport: a K60/TKC rival?
Typically, I don't tend to use Dual Sport tyres, unless I am overlanding. However, now that I am in Estonia and there are as many dirt roads as there sealed ones, I'm thinking is having some DS tyres in the garage might be a good idea.
At the moment I have just replaced the TKCs that came with the bike with BT45s, but whilst getting the tyres I was chatting to some bloke and he said that he got really good results in terms of grip in the dirt, mileage and seemingly on tarmac as well from Maxxis M6006 tyres.
According to a local stockist's webpage here they are significantly cheaper than both K60 Heidenau (a value for money favourite for many so far) and the TKC (which now seems to be creeping up the price scale as fame of the GS range widens).
So has anyone ever tried these?
