So finally I changed my tires in Thessaloniki (Greece). I was lucky to be hosted by a friend so he helps me to replace my tires in a couple of hours. Also, the tires are cheaper than in Istanbul because of the import tax. The guy from the garage did not have all the tires in stock so finally, this is my combination:
Front. Heidenau K73 120/70-17.
Rear. Continental TKC 70 130/80-17
Finally, I wanted to try the Continental TKC 70 wich the guy told me were more adapted for my use than the Heidenau. As Nuff said, the K60 Scout have good mileage but for rain, they are not best. Also, the Scout is not available as a front tire for my bike and the K60 are too soft.
I feel that the front is not to last so much km as the rear but so far, the feeling is great.
By the way, Thessaloniki is heaven for bikers: you can find all spare parts for almost all brands and people are super friendly. Especially if you are overlanding, they try to help you as best!
