What are the TKC 80 fans riding since this model was discontinued? And what is different about the Twinduro TKC 80? Thanks.

If you want a big block knobby tire for the GS series bike the options are few. Shinko 804/805 and the Tusk 2 Track Adventure (rear) are two that come to mind for 150 series rear wheels.

Welcome to the forum. Pretty sure the TwinDuro TKC 80 is the same tire. Dang pricey for what they are.

Trailmax Mission and Motoz Tractionator seem to get the most chatter, Shinko 804/805 and Tusk 2Track is hard to beat for the money. I like the Mitas E-07 rear for its longevity over a knobby and a little more agresive than the Trailmax Mission.

Search the forum, plenty of tire threads.

The E07+ is a popular choice among my group of riders. I bought a rear but haven’t put a lot of miles on it yet and no real offroad test, either. Doesn’t look as aggressive as the TKC80 and probably not quite as soft of a compound judging from the claimed higher mileage. It was very easy to mount, similar to the TKC80.
