Question Off-road tyres

Hi Guys,

Have finally managed to get some decent spoked wheels for the GS , they are coming with some worn TKC fitted, but what in your opinion is the better tyre for off-roading. I will be mostly green laning and fire-roads (shingly). I'm keeping clear of sand as I took the top of my finger off crashing a DRZ...

Cheers, Stu

There's no contest. TKC80.

I have used 4 sets of Avon Distanzias, and am very happy with them both on road and off.
