Most of the pistes are rocky/stony or hard-packed earth and Tourances will be fine for these. TKC80s have the advantage in mud or sand stretches where the nobbles on the edges of the tyres provide extra grip.
Personally I would fit TKC80s. Some people say they wear more quickly but I've done the last 120,000+ miles on TKCs and generally get 7,000 miles from the rear, more from the front, when riding at sightseeing speeds.
They are rated to just 100 mph top speed and to minimise wear you should avoid cruising at more than 85mph coming through Spain.
