5 days from purchase to arrival!
Bought the tires via Amazon and 2 days later they shipped.
3 days later they arrived, about 3 days ahead of schedule. ::008::
Really impressed with the turn around on these puppies.
Can't wait to try these out, see what the ST feels like on them and how they feel in the dirt and on the daily commute.
I have experience with knobbies, so it'll be interesting to see how this bigger, heavier bike behaves on these rubber bands as the latter half of this PNW winter wraps up, letting us enjoy wet roads littered with leaves, grit, gravel, dirt and branches.
The K60s made a noticeable difference on forest service roads, letting the bike feel more stable, so I expect these will be a bigger step in that direction, with a commensurate loss of performance on road...to a point. The Pirellis on my KTM actually perform pretty good on the street...and are excellent in the dirt, so I expect a similar balance from the TKC 80s on the ST...for a few thousand miles...
