I have no personal experience with C-02, but guys who ride in muck on XT660Z's in the UK rate them on the rear for this purpose. Not sure what they run on the front. But that is a bigger and heavier bike than the XT600 - so possibly worth a try as the price is definitely competitive?
As for where to order them from.
I have ordered twice from Oponeo (once Mitas and once Michelin) and have found their service to be exceptional  Oponeo will have a country specific website for your service.
I have also ordered from Trellesport UK after contacting them for advice on Mitas E-09 Dakar's. The Guys were very helpful and while the price was a couple of £ more expensive than Oponeo, the service was equally brilliant.
As for levers, caveat, I suck at changing tyres....  front is OK but rear is a disaster. I have 2 Motion Pro combination tools which are excellent for the front tyre and the spanner at the opposite end with socket insert is brilliant. However, I also have one Buzzetti lever on recommendation from this website and always wish that I had two for the rear!!
