As he was the dealer and didn't know simple info like that i thought best of it and went for TKC80s.

Mike, I would not think that they would be speed rated, if you use them or any proper enduro tyre you would only get 1 maybe 2 races and they would be Knacked. When I rode the Powys Enduro which is about 120 miles time card event, roads, fire track, bogs and forests that was it your new tyre Enduro was shagged after that so they are not built to last great miles the are designed for maximum grip of road and are road legal in name because the timed sections are linked by roads.

I had a swiss army tyre before and it was good on the road, and great for rocky climbs and muddy fields, I have used it to race on with the DRZ400 on 3 hour Hare and Hound races and green lanes (which we don,t have any more in Somerset)
