Miles

How many miles did you do on the rough roads?

:edit

Sweet photo.

We did 'roughly' - 2500 miles on dirt, mud, gravel, ice, snow and potholes large enough to swallow a KIA. Loved it.

Another F650GS owner that runs knobbies all the time. My front TKC is being replaced with almost 8K on it and some serious off road use.

I replaced the rear, before a trip, with a Michelin T63. The Michelin's a fantastic tire but very, very loud on pavement. Now at around 3K, it seems to be wearing well.

A set of TKC's and a set of Anakee's...that's all. Switch them for rides that are more than 2 days long. Takes 'bout 2 hours for a switch.
 
Yes, to TKC's

1) on the GSPD, because YOU convinved me to try a set.

2) On the GSA because i was going to do the Trans-Lab this summer... almost 5k miles on the bike, and not quite worn out! :nyah
 
No tire change yet

For me, either. I have about 4800 miles on my F650GS twin and am thinking about the next set. . . I am pretty sure I won't go with the stock Bridgestone tire.
 
i ran TKC front and rear on both my 03 F650GS (Dalton) and my 09 F800GS (Trans-Lab). got about 5K miles on them.
