I rode across the US and back on TKCs - including some serious off-road and desert conditions - they won't let you down.
JMo, what sort of milage did you get from the TCK80's on sections that were mostly road/highway.

Had my Ten in for 18k service and they pointed out my BT45 rear is almost worn at only 6k miles (I got 12 from the sirac with tread left to spare). I was planning to fit Tourances next but if the TCK80 has enough tread depth I'm tempted to try them instead.

Granted I almost exclusively ride motorway/dual carriageway but the tck's should give me the confidence to try a little bit of offroad I hope
