Brand new tire for next year Continental TKC 70 Rocks

[ballisticexchris]

This is looking like a really really good street tire to replace the TKC 70. No more slippery center strip. Full on open tread design. Should be showing up at the local dealers in just a few weeks or so.

Looks a lot like the Michelin Anakee Adventures, especially the front one.

You can tell it's a street tire. Every scene in the video where they were off road the tire was breaking loose. Kind of a silly way to advertise your adventure tires.

I could use these as I ride mostly street (as soon as my tkc 80's wear out ) for the 30% I'm on a gravel road , they would be great.

Are you serious? You have 2 heavy-weight bikes each kicking out way over 100bhp on loose surface tracks with the riders show-boating, it doesn’t matter what tyres you have on, they are going to break loose. Duh!

I am serious. As I said, a silly way to advertise your tires. I'm well aware of a bike's ability to spin tires on loose gravel. I just think as the marketing manager I'd try and show them gripping a surface, not sliding across it.

I had a set of TKC70s on for a while and was not impressed, particularly by how fast the front wore.

I agree. I want to see how a tire grips. I'm all about the traction. Traction equals control. There are times you have to skid/spin the rear tire for direction changes. I posted these new tires here mainly for the guys that want an aggressive looking street tire. They are in no way a serious tire for off the pavement.

My interest lies with the Dunlop Mission. First reviewers have been pleasantly surprised by their capabilities.

I too am interested in this tire. But after seeing it in action, it tells me you still have to ride like you are on marbles when you get off the pavement.

To me the Dunlop Mission looks as good or better and there are way more Dunlop dealers so that would most likely be my choice.

I am really interested in the Dunlop’s for my trip to Arkansas. I don’t want to ride a knobby for the 3200 miles of 90% slab.

tkc 80s are not bad on the highway ,ride better than they should. but as I ride mostly paved here in central Texas I do not need an aggressive off road tire. tkc 80s got me to Moab and back ,no issues.

Aw, come on....where's your sense of adventure?

Yeah, but depending on which road(s), they're sometimes the same as "off-road".

 

[Sifu-S10]

Just fitted a set, lets see how they perform. Anyone else running these so far? Feedback?

 

[hmmm]

How did these turn out for you?
