What kind of mileage are you getting out of these Conti's
I've run a few sets and like them, but the rears wear quickly!

Have not installed them yet but I am replacing my trakmaster K760 rear and it now has 5000 klm which is way more than I expected so I am hoping to get 7500 out of the TKC rear.

I assume you were running them on the 950, how many klm did you get on your rear tire?

I used to use TKC 80s on my KLR and I scarcely got 4K out of the rear. I liked the tire but it did wear fast.

If it only gets 4 or 5 k I will be going back to the trakmaster next time for half the price

I don't think this one will make 5,000 (about the same as the last one.)
I commute with the bike (10km gravel) so the miles add up pretty quick, but I haven't found a tire I like better in the dirt.
