Be interested to see how you get on on-road with these. Are you fitting them yourself?

They will be great in the wet as you will be more like a paddle steamer!
Be interesting to hear how they feel/wear/sound etc. Also be interested to see how they fit as I beleive the rear is a little narrower than the stock tyre. Good luck with fitting.

The rear is narrower yes, although the people at trelleborgtyres reckon that it should fit OK, and yes I will be fitting them myself, I figure it's good practice.

watching with interest my rear is bald now and I need a pair of tyres that will be good on and off the road and last all winter
at under �100 for the pair I rekon I can even convince the missus otherwise its just a rear and use an old worn front

Well the new tyres are now fitted, no drama apart from breaking the bead on the existing tyres (Heidenau K60's) - My usual technique is to just stand on the tyre and bounce up and down to break it, didn't work this time though and had to resort to a couple of G clamps!
Had a quick run out with the Swiss Army tyres fitted, must say first impressions are that they are better on the road than I expected them to be, sure there was the usual 'falling off a cliff' feeling when cornering but I expected that, and it's pretty easy to light up the rear if you aren't careful with the throttle, but again that was expected. In three weeks time I am playing with the TRF in a large off road centre near Bradford, that should prove fun and will give me an idea as to what the tyres are like in the dirt. |

Well done 
, Lets be having a photo of them on the bike. You can light the back up like you said but it is predictable and great fun. You will have loads of fun off roading with them I guarantee it
