FINAL COMMENTS ON TYRES PERFORMANCE: Front still good for a bit but rear stuffed for off-road use. Great tyre for my sort of riding and will return to it.

Just returned from a five day, 100 mile a day off road trip. Before this trip I replaced the worn TKC rear with a Mitas C02. Very knobbly indeed with a tread depth of 27mm. The contact patch with the road is very small and combined with the tread depth the road manners of this tyre are terrible. That said, off road there was more grip that i could wave a stick at. I am removing it for storage until next required rather than shred it on tarmac. I do dabble with our local lanes in between trips away, so am fitting another TKC as they have very good road manners for the winter months.
