The engineers that designed them?? I don't think they're available yet..several threads discussing them though...
Sales rep. Is saying April for the us market. There is a lot of excitement for these tires. As crazy as it sounds i have taken two preorders. They are definitely on the high end of the price scale though. Edit: suppliers website now says end of this month. Keep in mind these dates continually change.
Certainly tempted to go with them next on my GSA - TKCs don't last long enough if you're commuting, Tourances get pretty slippy, pretty quickly in mud. These could be a reasonable compromise.
I also have a set on pre-order, looking forward to seeing if they will deliver the claimed mileage life and still grip on mud/sand road surfaces.
110/80R-19 TL - - $169.99 Motorcyclesuperstore. 150/70R-17 TL - - $210.99 Motorcyclesuperstore. Not available yet though. http://www.motorcycle-superstore.com/11/53/802/57061/ITEM/Metzeler-Karoo-3-Rear-Tire.aspx
The rear is within a few dollars of the TKC at Motorcycle Superstore. But if I read it right the front is 25 or so more than a TKC......wonder why the price difference on the front? Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk HD
Soooooo are we going for these?????? I am a few miles away from needing a set........but I like the way they look and trust the brand.......... They need the TX torture test............ Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk HD
Well, I have 2/3 of an Anakee left and a new TKC rear. That will eat up the TKC front easily. All depends on whether I get to go to Mexico. Somebody will probably beat me to this one.
$365 to $380 per pair of these via internet order? And I thought $287 for a pair of TKC80s was bad! Unless these things stick like glue on asphalt, are excellent in mud and gravel and last for 20,000 miles I think I'll pass.
