The rims look like they are tube type.
Had some 'Oops' moments with the Dunlops on wet tarmac as well. On dry they are 'razor-sharp', but even with the slightest hint of moist, they tend to go slippery...
Buying a new CRF and living in a damp climate? Negotiate to put it on proper rubber!
Tires just have to be round :D
But I ordered MITAS E07 for AT...
How much kilomètres with the original D610? ::)
Yeah, Mitas E07. In a month I will give you a report :)
TKC make the job in the Alps !!!!! VCIF_a040hae
Tried today under storm: perfect! Tried yesterday on gravel pass: perfect ! VCIF_ThumbUp
has anybody tried this, it is also sold in EbayOnly suitable for MX bikes I am afraid. But there are other solutions. I do not mind to ride with tubes.

Mileage with TCK? How do they last?
Hi Zebulon,
Are you still satisfied with your tck's?
Did you use the standard innertube or a special one wich can cope with radial TL tyres?
Yeah, Mitas E07. In a month I will give you a report :)
I swapped the OEM Dunlops for K60 about a month ago but changed them to Conti Trail Attack 2 last week, because next couple of months I will only be giving road training and I want to spare my K60`s. First ride was towards the Eifel yesterday and it was a blast, had great fun in the twisties with these TA`s!
I am very happy with them. Better on tarmac than OEM and some confidence on the loose stuff. I did not get as much loose stuff as I wanted but it was ok for the time being. More when muddy seasons starts.Yeah, Mitas E07. In a month I will give you a report :)
So, waiting for your report Jyrki VCIF_salut

Bogdan, when you say "Dunlop" it is about OEM trailmax?Yes
You've changed Givi airflow ?Yes, now for me is much better. If you want, I can sell You airflow for low price :)
My experience with the Mitas E07 at 5 000 km roads of the former Yugoslavia and Albania.
1. Grip of the tire on dry asphalt - 80-90% of that in Dunlop
2. The road stony, loose stones, mud and puddles - delicious
3. On wet asphalt - fatal grip, I feel less than 50% Dunlop
4. Sudden, sharp braking, I have the impression that the motorcycle "floats" (there was no inclusion ABS)
After 5000 km tread worn for 40-50% of the height.
Tires have not been punctured :-).

4. I do not know if you have done knobbies before, it is normal feeling due to the higher pattern and bigger gap between blocks.As I thought. In fact this tires are my first "knobbies" so in first shard braking I was a litte surprised.
Wear depends on load and speed. The faster you go the more knobbies warm up and wear...Thats true. I'm not Speedy Gonzales, solo, 96 kg :-)
3. On wet asphalt - fatal grip, I feel less than 50% Dunlop
Knobby tires are usually not so good on wet tarmac. I once almost went under a city bus in Istanbul after falling down with my XRR... a meter saved me!3. On wet asphalt - fatal grip, I feel less than 50% Dunlop
I understand you prefer OEM Dunlop on wet road ??? :o
You will have to be careful with the continental TKC as they have a joint in them. They are made like joining the ends of a piece of string to make a circle.
The main problem with this is that under extreme conditions the inner tube rubs on this join and causes failiure of the tube.

Using tkc in the wet can be interesting depending on the type of tarmac you are on. European tarmac is generally ok as it is mostly limestone chippins. Morrocan tarmac is made with crushed marble and is lethal in the wet. Maybe Istanbul is the same.
I've been following discussions on the TKC 70 tire on other forums and not a single person from what I can see has mentioned this issue. The TKC 70 is getting good reviews from those who have fitted them across many different types of bikes.
I'd be interested to learn more about this though. Are there any links you know of that discuss this matter?
Been there, seen that!

You've got the TKC70 under the Transalp...
Regarding to the crushed marble in the tarmac: same goes for Greece. It can (and will) make the tarmac extremely slippery. Due to the wearing down of the tarmac, a microscopic film of marble dust is layed down on the tarmac. I almost lost the Varadero in Greece, stopping at an junction: my foot just slipped away, I could just barely hold the bike. Tires which do well under Western European sircumstances, can therefore, become a nightmare in some Southern European countries.
As David (Mr Kiwi) loved my TKC'70; nice grip on road on all weather conditions (not ride on snow ;) ) and nice grip too on the gravel or paths I've took ... Try to ride more gravel this summer VCIF_salut
Well that was quick. A reply came back overnight. The tyre is being replaced.
I've been debating which tires to use for a cross-Canada ride this summer (about 15,000 kilometres return).
So far, I have really found any issues with the OEM tires on the Africa Twin. Ridden in snow, slush, mud, gravel and pavement no issues at all. Even rode through some wet oiled mucky side roads today without and issue - speed helped clear out the tires.
I've purchased a few tires (sitting in the garage to be mounted) and am deciding between:
Mitas E-07
Avon Trekrider (new tire)
Shinko 804/805
The Mitas and Shinko are highly recommended, the Avon are brand new and look more street compatible than the other two (also rated for 50/50 use). I think by reputation the only one that would make the entire journey is the Mitas. Can't make up my mind...

But unfortunately I live in Switzerland and those are typical brands you never see here, i'm not sure my Honda dealership can actually get any of these.
I also should have added that I'm not a capable offroader, I'm going to take a dirt course to actually get some good technical bases, so for now I'll be
on asphalt except forest roads if needed, but nothing hairy !
As for the OEM tires, keep in mind the asphalt compositions are much different, in Canada than Switzerland and honestly I bought the test bike, so no
idea how old these tires were. But it was only under rain that the back would never have any grip.
By the way after discussing on the french AT forum, looks like for mostly road the best would be the Pirelli scorprion trail 2.
Found this insane review http://earth-roamers.blogspot.ch/2015/11/avon-trailrider-after-25000-km.html (http://earth-roamers.blogspot.ch/2015/11/avon-trailrider-after-25000-km.html) VCIF_ok
I'm not a real offroader either, at least not on this bike. I have another bike to pound on for trails and more dirty oriented stuff.
I'm quite content on this bike to do forest service roads, gravel and occasional trails.
If you're looking at the Pirelli Scorpions, I think you'll enjoy them. I've ridden on a set on a previous bike and really liked them. They are basically a sport touring tire with really good grip. They just don't last that long 7-8,000 kilometres for me on a heavy bike.
The Avon TrailRiders also get excellent reviews from BMuu riders on the big GS and they are similar to the Scorpions.
seems Scorpion is very nice on road ! but worse on path, gravel, sand, etc .... consider personal feeling with a tire is very different , considering (age of the pilot ;D ) roads where you ride, and how you ride, on the same bike; so I do not consider, a tire fitting a varadero or BMuu is nice on the AT ... VCIF_ok
I was thinking about tire tests the other day, if you don't consider that some magazines or sites are paid, to give manufacturers good
reviews, then how is it possible they always pretty much all agree on this or that tire being the best.
While all over forums, different people tend to like different brands, depending driving style and motorcycle, this will always puzzle me !
It does make it tough to make a decision. Forum riders have said that the Avon Trailriders will go from 6,000 kilometres to 20,000. The Mitas E-07 from 3-4,000 kilometres to 18,000. The Heidenau K60 from 6,000 (mine) to 18-20,000 kilometres. There can't be that much variation in riding and road conditions for those types of gaps in the data.
As an observation, some riders recommend running tires on pressure below that recommended by the tire manufacturer and in my experience this is the quickest way to accelerate tire wear.
The issue is I'm not eager to try TKC, because my logic sugests that being the same company as the TA2, there is a good chance the rubber and wear would behave in a same fashion, so going another brand seems more logical !

I read that in fact the basic carcass is the same as the TA2 and same multigrip, as well as raingrip technologies, so in fact it looks like it's just more thread and more dirt oriented, but actually the rest is the same !
Even on the continental website, the spiderweb graphic giving the difference between TKC 70, 80 and TA2, give the same mileage ont both TA2 and TKC 70. So when the manufacturer says that, i'm still more convinced on the Avon and again I don't need a 60/40 tire, 80/20 is the maximum i'd need.
I' ve ride few days (around 2 weeks - each day around 300kms) on hard roads , passes, some gravel, and rocks on French and Swiss alps this last summer; and no problem with the TKC with the above pressures .... Quietly all ride have been done with pillion and luggages ...
The fact is (IMHO) you can deflate easily with TT for off road use. Seems it is one reason involved by Honda to explain this choice . Yes I had 2.5 in the front on my previous Deros, but is not a problem to ride with "only" 2 now, perhaps it is more comfortable ;D and have less parasite returns in the handlebar... We had the same problem in MTB and have to inflate more to maintain tire on the wheel when TL arrived.
So not a problem for me for instance , but I keep an eye on this discussion and try to learn of you guys
VCIF_salut
have discussed hundreds of post on Dero's tires during the last 15 years ... and feeling on tires is something very personal . We had all done hundreds of thousands kilometers on Deros with different tires, and different feelings; and oftenly with the same tire, feelings were differents. We have in France different profiles, and somebody leaving near Paris or in Normandie have a square tire , no need to use the brake on flat roads ;D ; we ride here on very narrow & twisty roads, and sure I'm not so heavy then David or Jyrky (to say about AT drivers ;D ) so sure it also have an influence on tires's pression; (certainly same difference when you ride thru Denmark & Swiss) ; sure I'm not a pilot, riding cool; sure it influence also my feeling on my tires.
VCIF_salut
The only thing I take from magazines is that they have tested the tire.
I find the best advice is to go to a motorcycle shop and find someone who has worked in the parts bit of the shop for years and years and glean from them their views on the range of tires they have. Once I've struck up a personal relationship with the parts man I can get past the sales pitch and start getting to their views on what works better.
But at the end of the day I agree with zebulon - you have two very similar riders on the same bike with the same tires and they both have different views. At the end of the day you go with what works for you and your riding preferences.
By the way Djairouks, I'm riding through Switzerland in late June VCIF_varaGrey
Anyone heard of or used Anlas Capra R tyres ?
Never heard of them.
Interesting ??? just wondering who the 'big manufacturer ' is -- no doubt the answer will appear shortly . So as yet no reports on wear and more importantly on wet grip -- Cambrian list sizes for the AT -- I'm willing to try them for free if they offer VCIF_a_008 they've only got to ask.

What about metal parts on the road, do they react as I said the TA2 does !?
Another small complaint on the TA2 is the handlebar wobbles a bit at certain speeds, of course it's only perceptible in long straight roads, buit it's not coming from the bike since the Dunlops didn't show this behaviour.

No problem in all conditions with the TKC (for instance ;D ) rided in snowy, wet or mossy conditions; I had these problem with front wheel and handlebar on the previous OEM Dunlop, but after some adjustments on the fork, it's quietly ok (perhaps just have one these last 3000 km - since I'm back of the mountain ;) )
Great ! I think I'll just go with these then for my travel, to be prepared for any road conditions !
Absolutely a good choice ! VCIF_ThumbUp you do not say previously it was the same as TA ?

You know lately I bought a 2nd mistress and old love of mine from Yamaha, a Fazer 8 to do everyday riding, it is better to me on highways.
So it led me to compare handling capabilities and while the position and ergos are of course totally different, I feel on the Yamaha I am in total control, meaning I can also do crap.
On the Honda, I feel more ease it's less physically engaging, but I also feel a kind of "autopilot" factor, where it takes the lines without me working and sometimes I would rather place the motorcycle myself in turns.
Not sure this is relatable to any of you, but is this a tire brand feel, because I've only used continental on the Honda and the Yamaha always Dunlops. Or is this just the 21 to 17 inch front feel !?
I'm contemplating eventually changing to 19rims, so this interests me !
Somebody has experience with these?They look interesting. Might try this on my AT next time I replace tires.

Do not know you've changed the bike... 8) sure a lot of elements, geometry of the frame, size of the wheels, manufacturer of the tires; an AT can be very different with different tires; so comparing different bike is much difficult; but it's why there is a choice of different models ;D
took recently a Crossrunner during the AT's revision; and very difficult for me with 17" front wheel; and it was difficult to retrieve the 21" on the first turns ...
So yes each element have its matter , (IMO). And you've to choose which are the best for you ...

They handle road conditions (dry, wet, snow) as good or better than the tkc70 I've had before.
The noise they produce is louder than the tkc's but for these type of tires it's more than ok for me.

Anyone tried some continental TA3, I have heard strange reports that they would not be as good as the TA2 were !?

TCK80 are great, but just 3k km on. I will tell later how long they last.Mitas E07+ now 8k km... need to be changes ASAP.
MITAS E07+ is a disappointment on gravel and durability. I had them now for 7.5K km and they are about to finish... on gravel they are not GOOD!
As TKC 70 was good, sure this new will be also very good with a more "off road" orientation.

TKC 80 is a 30 years old tire, think there has been progress since this date, TKC 80 is absolutely bad under rain on Tamac ... E07 more square and center tread can quickly be a problem in the mud ... you like old tires Jyrki ;)
