Since my last post I have tried a rear.
They do indeed last for a long time. It was put on in Huston, went down to Villa O’Higgins, back up to Buenos Aires and home to UK - doesn’t look half worn, although it has squared off somewhat.
I was on a big bike, solo, relatively light and travelling slowly - I believe that speed and associated heat wears tyres out quickly.
The other thing I would say about them is they’re not good in slippery conditions such as mud and sand. I know that only knobblies are but I want traction and it wasn’t forthcoming. No problems on gravel.
I know these are popular but, for me, I won’t be buying again, there’s so many good tyres out there nowadays.
I’ve used K60s for years and will go back to them but for an extended trip with the possibility of slippery surfaces I’d like to try the new K60 Ranger.
