Hardest wearing block type tyre

[GB]

We all know the K60 seems to last forever, but if you want a tyre with a TKC 80 style tread which lasts the longest? Mitas, Karoo, GTyre, TKC, Mefo?

Mitas E 09. Proper good tyre. Don't pay extra for the Dakar version. It's not worth it.
Put a Mitas 644 Army Special on the front. Proper good do-it-all combo these two (thumbs) (thumbs)

Would agree with the E 09, not tried the Dakar version but understood it is a lot harder wearing.

Definately not TKCs - these wear really badly and the handling suffers once half worn.

I use MT21 on the front which is reasonably hard wearin whilst good on trails.

KTM 690/R100GS

E 09 is what I was thinking, will try one on the rear next, only managed 2500 out of the TK

The MT 21's started cupping on the front fairly quickly on our (XChallenge type) bikes.

(thumbs) MITAS all he way , cheap and bloody good (thumbs)

The 644 cuppped the same for me Ard

The TK on the front is doing pretty good so far.

E09 very good duel sport rear

the 644 army is light years infront of a tkc off road (thumbs)

Agreed, but you can turn them around, they're not directional.

644 army front and rear--their secret is the size and the spacing of the blocks--big enough not to deform and "chop" badly, also helped by being that little bit closer together---but the gap is big enough for just about all the mud that you will encounter-- to dig down and find grip--and I've tried loads of "road legal enduro" tyres over the years. Perfect if you are expecting to do a few road miles as well.
