Scrambler Enduro type of tires for Scrambler

Hi Matt, TKC 80's are very much off-road tyres,TKC 70's are little more mixed terrain jobbies, but there are lots of other alternatives such Heidenau tyres, Trailwings, etc etc.

On-road tyre designs have certain characteristics,off-road tyres are significantly different -so trying to find something with the look of an offroader but the security on road is not an easy task, but not insurmountable.

Just bear in mind that if you are 100% on-road, using a 'mixed' will be a compromise.

 

Off road tyres will never be as good as road tyres. They don't grip as well, especially in the wet, due to a lot less rubber being in contact with the ground and less silica in the tyre compound, they will wear a lot faster than if only used off road, where the mud deforms and tarmac doesn't.
My Michelin AC10 on the front of my KTM has worn down in 1200 miles and the strangest of wear patterns !!! The shoulder knobblies are now triangular sloping back from the leading edge.
I understand why you would want them, they look awesome on the scrambler, but it will seriously compromise on road handling, braking and tyre life.

But go for it, cos they look cool ;-)

 

JEEZ!! I'd hate to think what the grip is like on these then, must be slicks.

 

I had TKC80s on my Transalps and ridden France on them to Pyrenees and back and plenty of off roading down there they are great when new and can be pushed further than you can sometimes imagine... even in the wet. Wales tends to have a fair bit of rain !! Heidenau K60s are ace also. Worst for me in the wet handling dept was Mitas E07s but wear pretty well. I went with TKC80 front and Mitas on the back in the end.
I did use an AC10 on my XR400 and they were fine for lighter bikes, but think a bigger trailie wasnt the ideal bike to put them on. Michelin T63 was a good rear tyre also

 

I've fitted Heidenau K60 scout dual sport tyres and once they've 'rounded in' they've been fine, plenty of grip...
