Hi,
....
Please recomend. I'm hesitating among MA3 , TA2, actally TKC70 as well.
From my internet research i found
MA3: worn out fast, noise on highway but many people using MA3
TA2: no information on its cons yet
TKC70 Wobble on High speed.

Thanks for the reveiw and feedback.
I have Michelin A3's on mine: Sticky, good in rain, I never noticed any noise, but the waterboxer is so noisy I doubt I could hear any above 60. No wobble at any speed. They do wear out fairly quickly: 7,000 on rear, 12,000 on front. The second set is doing a little better because I got my full throttle kicks on the first set and am a little more sedate now (at 13,000). It does surprisingly well in gravel and dirt. Mud, not so well.

Until I tackle a multi-day Enduro I will stay with them, then go to TKC80's for that.
 
FIFTEEN THOUSAND miles on that rear A3!?!?!?!

That's what my rear looks like at fifteen HUNDRED miles! I can't get over 7,000 on the rear without it getting wonky in the turns due to flatting of the profile.

I still like them just fine for 90% road and 10% easy dirt. I have never heard them make any noise, either.
