Bogdan, when you say "Dunlop" it is about OEM trailmax?
You've changed Givi airflow ?
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 Dunlop2. The road stony, loose stones, mud and puddles - delicious3. On wet asphalt - fatal grip, I feel less than 50% Dunlop4. 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.
Wear depends on load and speed. The faster you go the more knobbies warm up and wear...
3. On wet asphalt - fatal grip, I feel less than 50% Dunlop

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.

For this reason enduro riders do not use tkc.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?
