My tyre of choice for my 1190 was the METZELER TOURANCE , liked them and the life was very good , 95% touring , two up with the full kitchen zing . Tourance has been discontinued , dont know why , but that it , and my rear was done for , square , front still good , Looking around at replacements and could not make up my mind , I had a chat with Speddic, Kenda importers , and they had the Big block paver , at old price , ordered one and fitted yesterday , looks good on the bike , nice deep tread .
Reading the online reviews , goes from very good to crap tyre that does not last , has not wet grip , only good for a burn out tire , to reviews of good grip in the twisties and great tyre for the price . Seems I will have to make up my own mind . Hoping it will be positive and the negative reviews is just that , if I get close to the 15 k kilos then it will be worth the change .
Looking at what is available and pricing then maybe a set of Karoo 3 street might be an option , the NEXT just seems way to road for a Adventure bike .even if one does 99% tar , it still has to have the look
