I have now done 1000 k on my Karoo 3's. Very mixed riding (Alps) with freeway, highway, narrow mountain roads, gravel, mud and river crossings. They perform fully as expected. Outstanding road performaces (for a 50%-50% tire), very nice on the gravel and dirt. Main drawback seem to be under muddy conditions, where they clearly do not grip like knobby (no surprice). I will monitor wear and let you guys know what I find.

Well, I'm up to around 6,000 miles on my Conti Trail Attack 2 tyres.

No visible signs of wear except the Conti logo is disappearing from the rear.

I did have to ride the bike about half a mile on a flat rear at one point, and I think my rear needs replacing now.

But I would highly recommend these tyres for on-road.
I've seen them on Tigers, GS, KTM adventures... If they're good enough for the bigger adventures, they're good enough for my Tenere

Good reviews on the Zen Overland pages and from what I have read no one has a bad word to say about them. I will be trying a pair next on my R.

Currently on TKC80s which have been great - great tyres once you get used to them - loads written about them so I wont repeat except the wear rate - I don't think I have done 2500miles on them yet the rear its approaching time to change. Front still looks Ok though.

If you get a set of exploreres I am definitely interested in feedback whether its on a Z or an R.

Skjold, how they perform on the wet on-road? I'm planning to have them next season, but there were some bad opinions about wet prerformance.
