what tyres can you suggest for winter season?
 

Need something new for my xt660z tenere as tkc80 are horrible in wet, mud and sand. I guess in snow also, but didn't try yet. Are there any dual sport tyres that can manage mud and sand relatively well? 60-70% off-road would be nice.
thanks

Heidenau K60 or K43 in the Silica based M&S version.

I'll second the K60 for all-weather, all-season, all-terrain use. It's not perfect but for me it's the best compromise you'll get. Lasts forever as well.

thanks, but I don't believe in all seasons tyres unless you live in California :)
Thread on these tyres doesn't look too aggressive as well as spacing to be honest to deal with muddy conditions well.
Have you ridden them in mud and sand?

I used K60's on the Bonneville on Snow and mud. Worked well. Never really tried sand.

I was looking for a replacement demi-knobbly for my 600 single a few weeks ago to replace a worn out Michelin Dessert and it came down to a straight fight between the K60 and the Mitas E07. I went for the Mitas in the end because ... it was £1 cheaper. :rolleyes2:

I've not done enough miles on it yet to have formed much of an opinion but I'm off to the Alps on the bike at the end of next week so I guess I'll find out then whether it was the smart choice or an example of penny wise / pound foolish.

I thought the tkc80s were supposed to be good in mud and sand? I picked up a pair of em for my tenere for that exact reason but I haven't fitted them yet.

no, tkc80s are definitely not good in mud and sand. Not even close. :thumbdown: I could as well use street tyres instead...
The only thing they're good in is pavement and dry hard pack.
I also got fooled by good reviews written by people who never ridden off-road :(
