Looking for mainly off road tyres. Gravel road, passes and sand conditions. Can someone advise ? Looking at whats available in S.A. .. TKC 80, TKC 70, Mitas Eo7, E10, Pirelli Rally, Karoo 3 ..? Or Anakee Wild  ?

I use Karoo 3.  I commute mostly, but want tyres that can handle it when I do sand or more serious off-road.  Also, they handle tar well and I get good mileage.

TKC80 is more extreme but just does not last and works out very expensive.

I don't have confidence in Anakee and other more road-oriented tyres, when it comes to mud and thick sand.

Something worth considering.

I'm busy writing up a report on the MotoZ Tractionator GPS.  Will be posting it in the next month or so.  All I can say is, I won't be changing to any other brand any time soon.  As far as I'm concerned, the goldilocks 50/50 (commute/offroad) tyre.

Currently 16 000km on the rear and counting (mix of Killarney track day, Atlantis dunes, Rocky jeep tracks, etc.).  Will be replaced on 17 000km.

My bike rides mostly offroad and TKC 80 do the job

I get 10000km on a rear(pumped hard on tar) and I buy them online and ship them from PE for a great price
