Thanksfor answers everybody. Much appriciated! Especially Pleiades which always seem to have a informative and well explained answer.

The Heidenau K76 got very good reviews in the link you posted. And I also saw a similar good review one on another site. But - the tires seem to be noisy and heavy, just as the K60 scouts. Damned!

TKC 80 are probably good tires as well but maybe too "offroad" for my personal preferance.

The Shinko 705 on the other hand, looks like a very interesting tyre for my use. Thanks for that info!

Will also consider the Karoo 3, although looking quite rough.

Or maybe just another set of K60 Scouts....

Keithy2: I seem to get around 18-20 k km out of almost all (rear) tires I have used on any of the bikes I have owned. I have had two sets of T66 (Michelin?) on my Transalp that both lasted approx 20 k km. I had Tourances on a Tiger 955i, Anakee 2 and 3 on the Tenere and the K60 Scouts that I have right now will probably run much more than 20 k km. But the again I am not a hard rider, I seldom push the bike to its limits. Although the Tiger 955i got the beast out of me quite often...ha-ha. And I have had no problems with grip or loss of control with any of those tires. And they all lasted looooong. T T66 was not a killer on rough "ploughed" asphalt though.

The only really bad tyre I have had on any of my bikes was the original tyre on the Tenere. Was it Battlewing or Trailwing or something like that? Really bad grip, felt I had minimal control on the bike etc. Terrible!

Anyhow - thanks agan for answers everybody!
