K60's are brilliant tyres and possibly the best compromise out there. Mitas E07's are much the same. I use K60's on my Alaska trips and they give good grip on everything from a soaking wet Dalton Highway with mud and deep gravel to the baking heat of twisty tarmac in California and are stable no matter what you throw at them. 10,000 easily do able on them.
However, if you are doing mostly off road and not bothered with wear, I'd go with TKC80's which are a very good wet weather tyre. I've tried to keep with Vern on his old donkey when he's got part worn TKC's and it's next to impossible . You get a very slight movement because of teh block tread but once you get used to them, they are very secure.
Did you have good experiences with the K60 on wet tarmac? For what I've read, it's kind of the weak point of the tyre... it does sound like the best compromise and the most 50/50 tyre, as the TKC and Wilds are truly more a 60/40 (towards offroad). It's an interesting option, but my main concern is the continuous center line on the new design and wet roads.
I'm trying to do off-road more and more but the truth is, I'll always do more asphalt than offroad, that's for sure. And at the moment I do not care too much about longevity.
No reviews because it's literally only hitting the market.
Avon have been making tyres for a very long time and also developing them for our climate and road conditions.

Well... maybe for the next set when I have more info and reviews about it. The brochure will make them sound amazing, for sure but you never know until they're tested. Surely they look good, though.
Cheers lads!!
