Oh hello, spring is here, so time to revive the tyre discussion.
I should have most of summer to consider what to get next, as my Pilot road 4s still have plenty of tread left. But I will need a new set before the ringmeet roadtrip. With the kind of driving I do around here I have been playing with the idea of getting some 60/40, or even 50/50 dualsport tyres. But seeing as the roadtrip could be something like 7000km and I've been planning on hitting the Alps later, something more touring oriented might be a better bet at this point.
I've been browsing through some forums and review sites during slow work days to look around what's on the market. Going by bigger brands, Conti TKC 70 and Dunlop Trailmax would need to be a size smaller at the back (170/60R17 instead of 180/55R17), while PR4 trail obviously, as well as Avon Trailrider and Scorpion trail II could be had with correct size.
Does anyone have any first hand experience with any of these? And just for clarification, I'm mostly looking for some gravel road performance, not actual off-roading capabilities.
