I liked the old Heidenaus K60 because they had a lot more traction on dirt/mud/snow/rocks than the new Heidenau K60 'Scout'... a piece of in my experience (that center band kills any kind of traction) good for pavement only... and VERY light off road IMHO. The Metzeler Sahara Enduro 3 are not good: terrible life (dead @ 8,000 kms / 5,000 miles) and not the best off-road feeling. I wouldn't buy them again.

I have a Shinko 700 on the front now and I am VERY impressed with: life, traction, stability and stickiness on twisty roads. And I paid $39 for it @ Motorcycle Superstore. On the rear, I still have the VeeRubber we put in Argentina... but will be replaced next riding season as it's on its last legs after 18,000 kms / 11,000 miles. Great tyres and surprisingly good on snow
