My wife is going to the EC Bash on her F650GS which takes a 100/90 -19 front tyre.  There is a Trailwing on there now.  I wanted to fit a knobbly tyre like the Kings that I have on my Dakar.  I am drawing a blank trying to find anything.  I may be able to get a Maxxis but have been told they are awful on wet tar.  We will be riding a lot of tar to get there so I have not persued that option.

What I can get is a Metzler Karoo 110/80 - 19 which goes on the 1200GS front for R958.  I must be able to get TKC 80 also but they are way expensive.  I have not checked the rim widths but I would think this slightly larger tyre would work fine.  What cheaper knobblies are available for the 1200GS?  I have spoken to Trac-Mac Waterkant & Bellville, Craigs Parow, Linex Yamaha, Bikestuff & Atlantic Motorrad.

Discuss please.
