never heard of them. I'll stick to my mitas thanks.
For $225 for a rear, that ain't cheap.

Interesting alternative to TKC80s and maybe something different to consider than the K60s.

I might try a set (When my K60s are worn out) if I can get some long-term testing data and real-person opinions of street/dirt performance.

I've run a set of MC23s on my DR. Work well, except they have a very low sidewall for the width, ie low profile, that is at odds with the numbers so speedo and gearing are affected, and more chance of pinch flats, if you run tubes.

I know guys who run them up back on 990s and like them, but not so keen on the fronts, MC23s still.

These MC60s have got a good write up in a local magazine who have a S10 long termer. But then they did get them for free, so who knows?

Some real world input from a rider in Nambia that does mostly gravel roads. Wear and comments would put wear faster than the TKC, the opposite of the marketing buzz from Rawhyde.

EricV, thanks for the link. So...sorta "meh" in general. Still too much of an unknown at this point...at least for me.

Well, my K60s have not let me down so far. Pretty tough tire in general.
