Anyone tried these?

Yep you guessed it 'Tyres' Cheep ones too

Been looking for some budget priced off/on road tyres. I'll probably go for TKCs anyway but thought it worth asking the question.

Has anyone tried these?

I've never tried Maxxis tyres, they might be worth a go. Isn't Maxxis the 'off-road' name for Cheng Shin or something like that?
I've been trying to get decent dual purpose tyres, the 17" rear being the one that causes grief (F650GS Dakar).
I've tried:
Trelleborg Army Specials (did Red Kite 2007 OK but wore quite quick on road but I was doing a lot of frequent heavy braking)
Metzeler Enduro 3 Sahara (better than I expected as long as it's dry - in the wet mud I spent a lot of time picking my bike up)
Dunlop D606 - my favourite so far but not certain if allowed in UK (I was in US at the time). Good grip and seemed to last well on road.
Metzeler Tourance - best tyre I've tried for on road but would not go anywhere near wet grass with them!

My plan was if I can't use D606s then I shall either sell the bike, change the wheel size to 18", Trelleborg Army Specials or Michelin Deserts but those M-6006 might be worth a go.

Thanks for the link, I'll have a look see when I've written this.

Have you tired Continental TKC 80's? They work well wet or dry on stoney/gravely surfaces. Two days in the rain on the BW off road course confirmed this, and I don't do off roading in the wet by choice.

Ask in the off road section 'I'm going to post this question there too' I'm sure you'd be able to get the rim changed to an 18", And I know it possible to get 18" and 12" conversions for the big twin GS's.
