Kings is king
Wonder which Kings skip refers to.
I used Kings Claw Action KT 966 for the last few years on all my 650 KLR and DR as well as a trial & evaluation on a F650 Dakar.
They are cheap (in South Africa) and give reasonable mileage. Dry tamac is very good for a knobbly, wet tarmac as shitty as we all know it (although never dangerous like Kendas). They work like a charm on hard gravel and are still fine in soft gravel and sandy stuff unless it gets bottomless (but then you need another bike, not another tire)
Mileage on average 7000 - 8000 km rear, 12000 - 15000 km front. (Bike hire)
Although not directional by order they have an assymetrical pattern and you better fit them the right way round:
Front arrow pattern pointing against rotation , rear the other way around.
If you don't stick to this rule the front feels like a worn steering head bearing when worn (esp. on the brakes) and the rear gets problems with blocks tearing out of the carcass.
