I have just put on a set of Karoo (t)'s onto my Tiger 955 after coming from Torances. To date I have only done ~ 1000km. I was nervous on them at first with 'blocks on a big bike'. A couple of weeks ago I did an off road course (great for confidence) and came home the long way some 4 hrs ride with good tar (very fast and winding roads) and high speed (80km/h) dirt roads. The bike handled very well on the dirt roads and well as on the training ride trails during the course. When I got home I was surprised when I checked the tyres and found the chicken strips were only 10mm from the edge of the rear tyre. The tyres did feel a slightly different with slight vibration at low speed (20km/h) but at higher speed they were great no vibration or additional noise that I could notice. I was looking at the TKC's at the time but price made the difference. At this early stage I am very happy with the Karoos
