Be careful when scrubbing in the TKC80's. Yesterday a guy on a KTM950 was trying to keep up on a nice twisty road and low sided into a ditch. Apparently his near new TKC's had not been scrubbed on the edges, when he really leaned the thing over .....well...the rear tire just stepped out. No harm, no damage, no injuries. Very very lucky man. So gradually lean them over, little at a time, steeper leans as you go. Should be fine....other than wet roads where I would
go a bit easy till you get used to where they break loose.
I've choosen a TKC80 for my front tire on my upcoming Cent. America trip. I'm hoping these tires work well on my DR650 both on and off road. I'm running a
Pirelli MT90 on the rear. I'm hoping to get close to 10,000 miles with this combo,
doing some dirt exploring, but mostly road work at relatively low speeds....not over 70 mph. Mostly 55 mph.
