Choosing tyres, what a nightmare. No real price differences and you cant try before you buy. What are the general thoughts? Prices so far are...

Mitas E09 Front £40 Rear £60
Dunlop D606 Front £55 Rear - Cant Find
Pirelli MT21 Front £57 Rear - Cant Find
TKC 80's Front £62 Rear £73
Metzeler Karoo Front £56 Rear £66
Michelin T63's Front £51 Rear £70

I have stock rims so perhaps this is why I cant find a rear Pirelli or Dunlop for a 130/80 - 17 rim. I know . Going to Morocco later in the year so need something a bit dual purpose.

Not sure I fancy mixing up the manufacturer but I know some riders don't find it that much of an issue?

Im tempted for the T63's. This is what OTR used on their evolution bike.

Has anyone used these before?
