Hey all, I'm happy to see this conversation as I ponder new tires for my 2015 Tiger 800 XRX. I am solidly a 90/10 rider so I've followed that formula in my previous tire purchases. I'm currently on my second set of Avon Trailriders and while they have generally performed well, they show what I consider to be excessive wear on the rear. I'm intrigued by Sean's description of the Dunlop's but the 50/50 designation might be too much on the off-road side of things for what I need. Looked at the new Metzeler Tourance Next 2 but they are impossible to find anywhere. So I'm open to ideas. My brother (on his new GSA) and I are headed off to a circumnavigation of Lake Superior in August. Will need new rubber for that. Thanks. Brian Weberg

IB-Steve,
Gotcha. Only reason I suggested them is because they classify them as a 50/50 tire they handle more like a tire in the 80/20 range on road and probably closer to 60/40 off of it, while also getting about 8K miles life.
So while they definitely broaden the range over the 70/30 of the TKC-70, they aren't quite a 90/10 or a true knobby 50/50 like the TKC-80 or Bridgestone Battlax Adenturecross AX41 either :)
But again, the Mission is a great tire for anyone looking for something that covers a broad range of riding with a good mileage tire :)

Sean,
I appreciate your insight about the tires. I don't plan on replacing the TKCs with ADV tires, they were just what came with it. I bought it as a sport touring bike for the worn out "pavement" that I keep encountering in my travels, with the occasional foray down dirt roads. I love my FJRs but I need more flexibility to ride all the places I want to.
When these tires wear out, I'm spooning on some 90/10 rubber with good longevity. My KTM gets the knobbies (knobblies to our English cousins) for the dirt work. Besides I really feel the extra weight of that GS next to the 790. Different tires for different desires.--

I figured as much, but I also don't know Dunlop's catalog all that well. So just because I hadn't heard of a Dunlop Trailmaster doesn't mean one doesn't exist :)

Steve,
You mentioned Dunlop Trailmasters. I was assuming that you meant the Dunlop Trailmax Mission. That is what I have on my Africa Twin. I am not familiar with a Dunlop Trailmaster. Was I correct in the Trailmax Mission being what you meant? Or is the Trailmaster something else?

Steve Smith bought a 2016 BMW 1200GS with low miles,and that bike has the TKC 80's on its rims?

Steve,
Hi!, Dunlop Trailmasters on the Africa Twin. Continental TKC-80's on the KTM 690 Enduro R. :)

I am not sure how many folks in this group use the Continental TKC-80 on their primary or an auxiliary bike. But I wanted to let this group know about a recall on the tires manufactured between January 2019 and April 2022.
