Finally got new K60 on my tenere after mitas E07 was worn out.
Done about 1500 km on them, on road and off.
Dry tar:
The K60 on tar is definitely better, feels more stable and sure footed. Corners really well and good positive feedback. Does have a higher whine though. The mitas did corner well, had no faults with tar. Got serious whine after about half way through their life.
Wet tar:
The K60 does have a habit of stepping out, and have to be a bit weary on entering corners, once in the corner, found them to be more stable. The Mitas performed well in the wet.
Gravel:
K60 performs well, bike hits traction control easily though, always on tc2 on the gravel. The mitas is delicately far more secure on the gravel, and found it does not hit traction control as easily, but gets going instead. Both are very secure around corners.
Wet gravel:
K60 slips far easier than the Mitas, which is far more secure and does not side step like the K60.
Mud:
K60 is side ways, got to be careful on the throttle. Mitas had very little snake effect. Both cases will have traction control responding.
Mileage:
Have never run the K60 to end yet, the Mitas gave me 8000km, which I am sure the K60 will out do that with ease.
front:
No problems with the front tyres. Both seemed very much the same.
Decision:
Keeping the K60 front, but will be removing the rear and returning to Mitas. The mitas might not give me the mileage, but prefer the performance by far. Anyone in South Africa wanting to buy a good second hand rear K60?
