I ran the tkc 80/ eo7+ on the continental divide last year on my 790r. They both made the entire trip 6.7k and front faired better than expected compared to my experience with that tire on the 1190r. The e07 was clapped out but rode it like I stole it! I also used ceramic beads for tire balance and it seamed to work perfect. My next bdr or divide ride I think I’ll use an e10 or motoz rear for more aggressive off-road. Open to other similar ideas on the rear for a long distance off road....🛵💨🤙

Hello Darryl. Sorry I have not got around and made the follow up video yet. I had to change this tire at 4000km because of a longer trip I had planed. I was not sure if the tire would last the whole trip, so I rather start my new trip with fresh rubber. Long story short, the trip got cancelled so I did not change back to the tkc70 rocks. But it's down in my garage and I will make a follow up video this spring. I can tell you that this is a really great road tire. It performs just as great as the normal tkc70. But with some better grips on gravel. Wet and dry tarmac is probably the best I have had. But I feel it spins out a little bit to easy on gravel stuff. In mud it is useless.

Hello Rinus, well I never got as far as putting them back on and complete the review. I have ridden them 4000km and I'm really happy with how they perform. They seams to last about the same as my mitas e-07+ rear and I get around 10k out of them. So longevity is something I find to be good on them. The wet and dry tarmac is exceptional and I really like the street oriented shape of the tire. it turns really nice on twisty roads. I find them to loose grip a bit faster on gravel compared to Mitas e-07+ but not much. So I can recommend this tires and they do a similar job offroad as other 50/50 tires.

Ciao Thomas, I had 2 trains of mitas e07 + dakar (in front of e07 non plus dakar) now i took the train complete of e07 + but without dakar. well you won't believe it but it gets damn better on the road. much more drivable between the serpentine road. Maybe I will have a slight deterioration in off road and the duration will certainly be shorter but it does not worry me. Ah last thing for the bags in the end I got the enduristan blizzard L. In my opinion much more practical and less expensive.

Hi I am from Australia! I have ridden ADV-DualSport on Mitas for over 20 years here E07 / E07+ / E09 etc (& 40years ago they were BARUM in Enduro!) . Why? They are great stone tyres (no flats)!!! Wear well, well priced, and I think the 7+ has better wear here esp where we have long transports. Still I arrive in CH in about 3 weeks to spend a few months to tackle alpine dirt. I have bought a 990 (I do understand KTM having 950&1290 here in AUS) but my friends tell me Mitas in CH are exotic? So I have chosen TK70/70Rocks combo as easy to get and I did NOT want the centre rib of the old TK70. As long as the have good all round performance I will be happy. Have had Conti Atack 2/3 on the 1290 (my GTourer - now replaced by Mitas TerrForceR) But my take on 90/10 tyres? Great on tar roads, OK Hard Gravel, but ...Sand, Mud, Wet Grass - HOPELESS. So I want workable cpmbos 70/30 (EUR) and 50/50 AUS and preferably no gflat tyres (thanks Mitas) Will give you more feedback in a few months time!

I'm down to my last mm on my rear mitas e-07+ now, and will put on the rocks again with my tkc80 front before I change them both in a coulpe of miles. Keep me posted on what you find mate. Cheers

Hi Thomas, how’s it going. 👍 I’m due some new tyres and you can’t get any Pirelli Rally STR’s, for love or money at the moment. So wondering how your getting on with the TKC 70 Rocks? My priorities are for good all round grip, wet and dry on tarmac, if I go off-road, its only ever gravel tracks. So would be very interested in an update and also is the TKC 80 front ok for the above riding conditions? Look forward to hearing from you. 😎👍

Hello my friend 🍻 I'm actually packing my bike, going for a 2 week trip around in the Norwegian mountains 🇳🇴 and some TET. Well, my tkc70 Rocks rear with the tkc80 front are probably the best road combo I have testet when it comes to grip and performance on wet, cold and dry. On gravel roads the rocks performs great as well, but in muddy and really wet stuff they struggle like every other 50/50 tire. I took mine of at the 4000km mark because I was planing a new trip and wanted to start with fresh rubber. And I guess they are about half worn at 4000 km. I guess you will get 8000 km out of them with no problem. Give them a try, I think you will love them for the conditions you are telling me. Cheers

Hello Jon... No I don't have any concerns about this at all. You don't need alot of knowledge about tires to understand that this is not a problem as long as you stay within a certain range of tires. I would not combine a supersport tire rear and a knobby front. I know some contrys forbid you to mix tires and to use tires that are not recommended for the exact bike. And that is so stupid I don't know where to start 🤣

Hello Peder, I have tried one rear tire of the mitas e-07, but not enough to make up my mind, some rate it better off-road, and the mitas e07+ better as a road tire. There is many options to do tubeless convertions, but after getting back to tube tires on my T7, it is not that much hassle. Not for me at least. I don’t see any problems of doing this to a old Transalp. The question is more why do you want to do it in the first place?

The huge performance boost on gravel is really tempting. Riding on twisty roads are much more fun with these 🔥 The plan is to go south, but with the cold weather that is coming in the next week, make me reconsider the whole ting. (this weekend)
