Vernon Danielson Henderson,  NV Metzeler - MCE Karoo 2 Front Tire I only have about 1,200 miles on the tire with about 100 being off road on a F800GS. So far it shows very little wear. It did as I hoped and helped the GS handle well in the dirt, wasn't great in deep sand but what is with a 450 pound bike. It worked fine on the highway but I didn't push it. I would buy it again.

M... houston,  TX KLR650 Karoo 2 Front Don't have enough miles on to do a full review. Looks like they'll work fine enough. Cost efficient at this point.

nathaniel embry eugene,  OR Hooks up good in gravel/mud evaporates on pavement These tires are great for gravel and mud/ but I got about 2500 miles out of the rear, and it was toast. So if you don't mind shelling out the money, they are a great dualsport tire. If you are just going to ride dirt, get the Dunlop d606 if you are going to ride mainly pavement go with the tourance. If you want the best of both worlds, get these, just buy 2 rears for every front.

kris Flagstaff,  AZ BMW GS 1100 dirt riding Have seven hundred miles on them, dirt & road. The front tire doesn't show any wear. They corner well on the street especially after the first 200 miles. So fare so good.

Chris Olympia,  WA Front Tire Cuping This is my first set of Karoo's. Air down the rear to 25 and the front to 20 and they fly on the fire roads. Rode them as 50/50 during the summer and 95% road in the winter. The tires have always howled quite a bit and the front has now cupped pretty badly commuting through the winter. The rear still has good life in it, the front is pretty bumpy. Works great as a 50/50 tire. If you are spending your time on the roads this tire will wear pretty fast. I think most all knobby fronts will cup if you ride them on the highway much.

David Beal Topeka,  KS Aggresive DOT-Approved DS Tire Great tire especially for the price. I have been thru several sets of this tire over the last few years on my KTM 640. This is my tire of choice. I can get about 1 1/2 seasons of use from the front. About 1 season from the rear.

Christopher J. Robin Mountain Home,  ID Metzeler - MCE Karoo 2 Front Tire Great tire for heavy dual sports. Not the most aggressive off-road but will get the job done consistently while still providing decent road performance and longevity. I have mine fit on a 990 Adventure and prefer it for gravel roads and two tracks. Minimal noise and never does anything surprising like stepping out. Any soft sand can be sketchy and I would go with a Dunlop D908 Rally Raid front and rear.

Scott Morrison San Diego,  CA Excellent tire so far Have about 800 miles on the Front. I replace a 908RR with this and I prefer the way the K2 handles on road much more.
