    Has anyone tried these new Kenda tyres sizes for GSW & GSAW yet. If so how do they compare to the K3,s.
    Also any feedback on the new re-released Conti TKC 80s yet? Apparently the first new batch in Oz were available on the GS Safari. I stuck with K3s.

    I was unaware they already released the GSW sizes. This is perfect since my friend is a Kenda distributor here! Sadly I have half of my K3 left and a fresh set of TKC to burn through before I can give them a try. Not to mention my take off Anakee3 sitting in the corner as well.

    Land in Sydney 1st week of Jan 15.
    My K3 rear is close ok dead. So I need a new rear.
    Same with the anakee 3 did my 1k run in on them then swapped to K3s.
    Are they the new re-released TKC80s from Safari? Apparently none left for the shops. If they are the new ones post how you find them please.

    My TKC are a set of take offs from a 2015 GSA from the dealer. Not sure if they are any different than other TKCs.

    I spoke with the oz distributer they got a special shipment of the new tkc80 in for the BMW GS safari he said other than that they were not generally available yet. He expected early 2015 but nothing confirmed.
