Agreed. Fitting them transformed the bike. ;Dgroundhog said:

Just fitted a pair of nearly new set of TKC70's (off my MG Stelvio-great that Yam/BMW/MG use same tyre size!) and they are like old friends again! Only done about 15 miles after my first time removing/refitting S10 wheels. Pretty easy in my opinion!
OEM Battlewings were brill but I wanted a coarser off road style as it just suits the S10 more. Down here in the SW of UK we need great grip for wet/floods and all the debris left over our small country lanes where I like to ride with grass in middle and stones/gravel/drymud/grit is very common
These are typical of our local minor roads and the first image is tarmac under that mud and is originally the Roman built Fosse Way which runs from Lincoln in the NE down to the SW coast near Exeter. The second image is a minor "tarmac" road which is actually signed at each end as "Not suitable for motorised traffic"! These are the roads that suit the TKC70's.
