    Hi , Here in Aust knobbies are not really legal for highway use, unless it states for road use, such as Dunlop 606s, does anyone have experience with these tyres? Im keen to go off road just not with the standard bags

    I put a set of Metzeler Karoo 2 on my Terra. Give me much more confidence on dirt and on the road handle almost as well as the stock Saharas. When they were new the front felt like it was flat and the bike didn't want to turn at all, but after about 100km it was much better and after a couple of hundred more km I was carving up twisties easily. The rear started with 7mm deep tread and I've clocked up about 1000km (probably 400km dirt and 600km sealed) on them now, and down to about 5mm.

    I'm not sure if I have any Karoo rears left, but I have fronts for 14 dollars or so..
