Pros: Best adventure tour tire if you get off the hard stuff.
Cons: The don't last long.
I've run TKC80s on four different BMW GS bikes over the years. I recently got a new 2012 GSA and took off the stock Tourances after just 1500 miles and put TKC80s on. Tourances are OK in gravel IF it's dry. But if you ever get into true dirt, or anything wetmuddy, you need TKC80s. In hard pavement cornering they do well until you get out on the outer row of knobs, where a slight weave begins. They also add a little buzz through the pegs and grips. The biggest downside is that I change rear TKC80s at about 4000 miles. Even having said all that, there is NO other tire for me when it comes to adventure touring.
