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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Karoo Front and Rear - Best Dual Sport tire
This is the best dual sport tire ever for about 50-50 riding. It is really good off-road and on the road.

Metzeler Front Tire
The Metzeler tire is great. Was exactly what I expected. The motorcycle superstore is the place to go for bike parts and accessories for selection, price, and customer service. Thanks!

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.

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.

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.

Dual Sport tires
After quickly wearing out the stock Pirelli tires on my Aprilia dual-sport, my research led me to these Metzeler Karoo's. Although I have very limited mileage on them so far, I'd have to say they offer better traction and are more confidence inspiring than the original set. Oh, and the price here at Motorcycle Superstore was so ridiculously low (they were on closeout by chance in the exact sizes I needed) it was a real 'no-brainer' purchase. Couldn't be happier overall.
