I had MITAS E07 on all my previous bikes and never had a problem and now looking to put on the Africa Twin
BUT
Got a strong recommendation from a experienced rider to go for TKC80 front and rear. I really like the looks - lot more aggressive than E07's but I am worried about the tar riding (i do 50/50), and front wheel cornering. I know TKC80's have a very good name but heard that you need to inflate them very high on tar not to get the middel knobbie melting  :eek7:
MITAS E07 Rear - R1850
MITAS E07 Front - R950
TKC 80. Rear - R2500
TKC 80 Front - R1300
(Just Bike and Tyre)

Your view/experience please ............
