Hi All,

Just wondering what Tyres everyone uses for 70% dirt and 30% road use on the heavier bikes such as R1100GS' and Africa Twins.

I have read many conflicting reports between the Metzeler and Michelin, but not much about Bridgestones.

I have heard that the Conti Twinduro TKC 80 do a great job for this kind of bike. I have a Varadero and have ordered them. I live in Indonesia and will go on a trip in January 50% road/50% trail.
I will let you know how well or bad they performed...
