Hi, this is my first post on xt660.com

Anyway I rate the k60 as a great tyre I had them on and replaced them with Mitas E-07 and the k60 is better in my opinion.

Cheers

If you want a road tyre try the new Michelin Anakee 2s - great on dry roads and AMAZING on the wet = grip is almost the same. I now enjoy riding in the wet. Covered just under 1k miles and no signs of wear.

Just swapped Anakee2s for Conti Escapes. I'll post a review and pics later when I've got a few miles on them.
I didn't really like the Anakees and don't like to follow the crowds so went for the Escapes. Very weird profile, and much sharper steering (660R) but not tested grip yet - too new and it's been Guzzi weather.
I thought the Anakees were reluctant to turn, but once they did were grippy enough, but then you were soon at the outside of the front tyre - and I wasn't happy about that.
If you get to the outside of the Conti's then you've just crashed... either that or else they're VERY sticky (I don't think so) They have a very round profile.
One funny thing, they feel a lot taller. The bike doesn't seem to pull through the gears the same. I'll test with the sat nav - I know the Anakees were about 80mph at an indicated 87/88 (10% error!)

im using mitas E-09, after tourance failed for offroad driving i was looking to find something with fair price and knobby to get me out of muddy situations.
In Croatia i found them for little bit over 100� for a set. So even if i would change 2x yearly depending on mileage im still in similar price. Road handling is quite good, maybe rainy conditions aren't so friendly especially in winter time but it's a compromise.

Ofcourse i have to mention that Mitas looks just like Michelin T63 which is little bit more expensive tyre
