Continental Tire Conti Tkc80 180/55qb17 Rr Sport Touring Pn:02000240000

These are some really nice tires with good curvature so you can roll into the throttle while 45* leaning. They do slip considerably more on pavement but not enough to cause issues. The offroad and gravel traction is far superior to 50/50 tires like scorpion2s.

This is my first rear TKC 80. It looks meaty and spooning it on went pretty smooth. The only issue I had was getting the bead to seat. Between the tire bead and rim there was a good 1 inch gap making seating the bead very difficult. I ended up having to wrap the tire circumference with a heavy strap, sinching that strap down more tight than I cared to and then fill with air.I did double check the tire size to what the rim would take and it was right on. It is a tubless tire going on a tubeless rim. My main concern is if I get a flat while riding. Seating the bead again on the road would be impossible without a strap! Also I did mount a front TKC 80 with no issue.To be fair this is not going on a bike that is meant for off road, Suzuki Bandit 1250 but the rim size is rim size and tire install should be no issue IMO.

Great in the dirt and sand. No question. Handle surprisingly well on the road and actually stick well through the twisties. This comes at the expense of longevity on the road, but this is expected for a tire advertised for 80% off-road use. If you plan to ride a lot in the dirt/sand/mud these are your tires. If you want these because they look cool and plan to ride mostly on the streets, then plan on replacing them after about 2k miles.Also worth noting - I've ridden TKC80s over a lot of sharp rocks in south Texas and Utah. Slammed a couple hard enough to bend my front wheel. Found a number of cuts in the rubber but NO punctures. These tires are tough as nails, and apparently, tougher than rocks.

I’ve heard they don’t last long. Cool. I’ve heard they’re horrible for street traction. Neat. But I got them for pure vanity they completely delivered.

They wear a bit fast on the road but they handle very well and the best part... They laugh at road construction, dirt and gravel roads. Just did a 1600 mile ride with them on my Buell and loved them! You may lose some speed and mileage but not a major problem.

Excellent product

These things are SICK on my 1999 1200 Bandit. I've been hitting logging roads getting great traction but the suspension on the bike bottoms out. I'm not expecting them to last that long mileage wise

Can't beat for the price.
