I have now been runing Karoo 3 for one season in north Italy (all conditions). My experience is that this is a true 50/50 tire. With very good performance on the road. I have done a lot of driving on twisting mountain roads and nothing negative to say. Off road performance has also been good and perdictable, specially on gravel and under dry conditions. Under muddy conditions it does however become clear that this is not a knobby, and I never learned to trust it 100% under muddy conditions. Lifespan somewhere between 4000-6000 km.

Hope this helps
