Just changed my Tourances for some TKC80s as the rear ended up with a nice split across the tread from some enthusiastic riding on sharp flint (learned my lesson there then!) I'm assured by those in the know that the TKC's are the ones to go for but have to say that during my first few miles on tarmac they feel weird.

I'm sure I'll get used to them and they are bound to be better off-road than the Tourances but for now it's like learning to ride all over again. I have to push much harder on the bars to get the bike to turn and then it suddenly drops into the corner unlike the Tourances that had a very neutral feel.

Anyway, I'll update any impressions I have once I've had a chance to give them a blast down the odd green lane. Off to Le Mans in April too and there will plenty of off-roading on the way!!

cheers
