Long the standard tire for dirt riding on big bikes, the TKC80 provides reasonable grip on unpaved surfaces while still behaving at least a bit above legal highway speeds. Tread life leaves something to be desired, but that seems to be an inherent evil with big bikes and knobby tires. I may ride more cautiously than necessary in the rain, but I haven't found them to be particularly slippery in the wet.

Yes, I recommend this product.

Heidenau K60 Scout Rear Tire A true 50/50 dual sport tire, the K60 Scout brings a proven balance of performance on- and off-road. With an improved tread and compound, the Heidenau K60 Scout dual sport tires deliver better cornering stability and wet weather grip on the pavement, while delivering off-road as well. The chevron style tread pattern is similar to full knobby designs which provides lots of open space between the tread blocks to route sand, mud and water from the contact patch while constantly keeping some rubber in contact with the road as the tire rotates. This tire is a stand-out as it does not sacrifice on-road longevity and adhesion to the pavement for off-road traction. A difficult feat for any tire to accomplish. TL Tubeless TT Tube Type Tire Please Note Tire size 150/70 -17 has a solid, center band rather than the staggered tread pattern pictured (see below). Tire size 150/70-18 has a less pronounced center tread stagger (see below). Please Note The K60 Scout tread pattern will vary depending on tire size.
 

Does the 130/80/17 have the "center stripe" or the open chevron pattern?

How does sizing compare to the Held Steve?

I have an older pair of Held Steves in a 7.5 that I"m quite happy with, except that I've now put on enough miles that I need to replace them. Is the sizing consistent?
