I know you have the Mitas E07 on your AT.
How have these performed for you on tarmac, particularly in cold wet downhill conditions.
I am happy with Mitas E07, have not had much wet road experiences though. But I am aware they will be worse on wet, I have been riding motocross tires on DS bikes on wet tarmac and fell quite often
Not on the stunning CRF1000, but on a BMuu F800GS (comparable in size / weight) I have some experiences with Mitas E07 and must say they felt very confident, both on (South African) gravel, as wel as paved roads and in rain.
I still would choose for the TKC70 though
But there is the issue of price-difference which is in favour for the Mitas. Inlcuding a picture:

You get two rounds of Mitas of price of one round of TK.

Thanks for the feedback, interesting discussion.
The TKC70 is fine on gravel, but not so on dirt. If I think I need to go more aggressive with my tires on the AT next time round I might consider these. For the time being the TKC70 is doing a fine job.

Perfect

I've ride a little bit fech fech sand with the TKC and yes front wheel was difficult to control; but I'm not a pilot ...
I had Mitas E07 front & rear on my VFR1200X I also weight 160kg so there was a lot of pressure on a small contact spot.
Never had a problem with them all through Winter here in Australia
but but but, you don't get a winter in Australia
Nice to hear your feedback on them. I might try them one day.
Mitas E07 is something like this
Quite different to the TKC 70
Used the E-07 on both my DL650 and the Varadero.
Liked them allot, wore well enough, Better off road performance than the K60 scouts (particularly the front)
As for the road, they were not as good as the Anakee 2's but better road manners and wet grip than the K60's.
I'd have another set in a heartbeat, but the mrs now has a GSX1400 and I am not destined to see much rough stuff on a big bike anymore so went for Bridegstone A40's. (I also work in a Bike dealership and we can't get Mitas tyres)
I don't have an AT to try a set on I'm afraid.

Thanks for your comments. Interesting that you don't rate them as good as Anakee 2's for road manners. I rate the TKC 70 better than the Anakee 2's for road manners and better also for gravel.
