FINAL COMMENTS ON TYRES PERFORMANCE: The back - good at the beginning, tried the 140/80 hoping it will last more due to the band on the middle... it does last more but when you reach the band it's not that good anymore. Good tire on road, ok off road in the beginning (I wore most of it on road unfortunately ). However I can't give a fair judgement on performance offroad due to riding mostly street when new, I did a bit more offroad to the end of it's life but wasn't happy with it - once you hit the central band is not impressive at all. Switched to TKC80. Not quite apples to apples due to different wear but it seems way better offroad.
