The TKC 70 combines the best of the TKC 80 off-road tire and ContiTrail Attack 2 on-road adventure tire. Adventure tire with rugged off-road capability and a balanced street performance. Trail tire with a radial and diagonal design constructed for off-road use with a speed index up to 150 mph - all radial tires are handmade in Germany. TKC 70 is designed for light to medium off-road use with extraordinary street performance. Uniquely constructed tread block pattern makes the TKC 70 quiet and stable on the road while still providing good off-road capability. Agile on streets and safe on gravel roads. MultiGrip: Continentals own semi-dual compound technology allows different levels of hardness on the central tread and shoulder area (more mileage and improved grip). RainGrip: New compound with outstanding wet grip and very short warm-up time. The 0° steel-belt construction guarantees high stability and a low kickback. Original equipment on KTM 390 Adventure.

Starting with the rear tire, the tire is amazing and I'll absolutely run it again. It handles hard riding on pavement very well, rain isnt an issue...even slight flooding on the road isnt an issue. They also wear really well. Were pretty squared off at about 12K but I still ran it till the wear bars at 15k, thats with a couple burn outs. Hard pack it handles great, loose gravel its ok, mud it packs up and doesnt do a whole lot.Now the front tire is a whole different story and I'll never run that tire again! It tracks funny on grooved pavement, more so then any other tire i've used in the past and they cup out / jig saw wear like crazy which creates quite the handle bar shake. By about 5k, I could measure the actual tread depth difference between the front of the ... MoreStarting with the rear tire, the tire is amazing and I'll absolutely run it again.

By about 5k, I could measure the actual tread depth difference between the front of the lug and back of the lug and I had a noticeable handle bar shake. By the time the rear needed replacing at 15k the front was actually dangerous with how bad it was worn and would shake the bars.The tire was balanced and there wasnt any mechanical faults with the bike, have since changed tires to a different front and no tracking issues, wear issues or shake issues so it was in fact the tire.

These are a great choice for on/off-rode tires. I think they wear pretty quick, but you get excellent traction for it. I've got a 130hp 620lb ADV bike and traction in corners on the street is outstanding. Plus, I've been able to go on any backroad I dare and have never had a problem. If you can, get a TKC 70 Rocks for the rear if you're going to do much off-road. They have the same grip on the street, but much better traction off-road due to their slightly different tread design. Thumbs up.

These tires have excellent grip wet or dry, they're stable in a straight line, they corner well, and they look great. They would be 5-star tires, but on my Bonneville T120, the front burned up in about 5,000 miles while the rear was still going strong. I don't ride like a maniac and I keep an eye on my pressures. Considering how stiff they are (which makes changing them a pain) and that they're supposedly meant for big adventure tourers, I expected to get more mileage.Maybe they work better on other bikes, but 5,000 miles is remarkably short-lived.

I've put nearly 1k miles on em so far and there's nothing bad to report. They seem to roll smooth at 80mph and grab sufficiently on Texas Hill-country back roads. All paved. I have not encountered torrential rains or adverse weather conditions, however I felt secure with a light drizzle on the road. Of course I have abs as well. I'd recommend these to anyone with an adventure touring bike or the like. 4 stars for the tread life because I haven't had enough miles to really say.
These offered a nice improvement in traction on pavement, and a big improvement on dirt roads over the stock tires my NC700X came with.I'd say they are oriented for 80% street riding, and occasional dirt roads.The main thing, is I don't feel like I'm riding on glass on dirt roads.I'm not going to give them a 5 star tread rating since I haven't had them long enough to know.
I have only put no more than 10 miles on them so my review is more like first impressions si I can't speak for longevity. So still scrubbing off the tires but they feel great. I used to have TKC80's on my bike and found them to be great off road and incredibly sticky on pavement.I know these are more pavement and milder off road capable, still expecting good things although not as aggressive off road.Love the pattern. The tire looks great.
The front tire looks good. It rides nice and the grip is good in wet or dry. I have not taken it off road yet. The turn in to corners seems a bit slow but nothing bad. It is slightly noisy but not to the extent of being annoying. Overall it is a good tire and I am happy with it. I have not ridden it long enough to have an opinion about tread life.
I ride a heavy 1200GSA and so far, have ridden it with Michelin Anakee 3's, Conti Trail Attack 2's, Heidenau K60's, TKC 80's and these TKC 70's. The TKC 70's are a 90/10 tire, so I should really only compare them to the Anakee and Trail Attack. I put these on before leaving Montreal for Alaska via Montana and BC. They are no better off road than the Anakee or the Trail Attack and are not nearly as good on road. They grip well enough in wet conditions but I have gone through two sets and both times, the front developed a strange wear pattern which affected the front end suspension and steering. Tire pressures were checked regularly and balancing was not an issue. My friend who did the trip with me had the same issue on his bike.

( advrider ) You could argue that the mileage has been pretty good but that is not my main goal when it comes to tires. Needless to say, I will not be using this tire again anytime soon.
So just a little background about me, I have been riding motorcycles for 40 years and have owned all manor of motorcycles and toured extensively in North America, Europe and Asia and way too many track days and motorcycle training curses to count. I bought these tires from F9 and had them installed at a Triumph dealer that services my Tiger for a month long west coast trip with my wife. The tires took an unusual amount of wheel weights to balance but I have seen that before and wasn't worried my bike has TPMS and I always check pressures with a gauge on a regular basis especially when 2 up and fully loaded with camping gear. On our trip we experienced all kinds of weather from 3C to 35C, rain and snow and several hundred KM of gravel road of the 11000km total ... MoreSo just a little background about me, I have been riding motorcycles for 40 years and have owned all manor of motorcycles and toured extensively in North America, Europe and Asia and way too many track days and motorcycle training curses to count.

The tires took an unusual amount of wheel weights to balance but I have seen that before and wasn't worried my bike has TPMS and I always check pressures with a gauge on a regular basis especially when 2 up and fully loaded with camping gear. On our trip we experienced all kinds of weather from 3C to 35C, rain and snow and several hundred KM of gravel road of the 11000km total mileage trip.The front tire makes a very loud whining sound especially when leaned into a corner and I can scrape my boots even fully loaded with a passenger so the grip was good. Straight up on the highway as the tire started to wear the front end would get a slight to moderate wobble when I accelerated to pass and even at the posted speed limits on the highway the mirrors were always blurry ( which are normally calm and clear ). In my opinion it bordered on unsafe so I chose my passes wisely and used extreme caution.The front tire tread pattern had worn in an unusual way in that the trailing edge of the lug wore down almost flush with the tire casing and the leading edge of the adjacent lug was raised almost as if it hadn't worn at all ( I have attached pictures ) and I am sure this is why the tire developed a wobble.On the gravel road sections the tire didn't perform any better than with the stock Metzeler Tourance Next tires in my opinion and riding ability.The tires had good grip on the dry and wet pavement even in heavy rain they did an adequate job in clearing the water.As for wear I am sure the tires had an extra couple 1000km left in them when I took them off but I could not get them off fast enough when we got home.I immediately re-installed the Metzeler TN and could not believe the ride difference.Bottom line I will not be buying these tires again for the type of riding I normally do, but I do think that if you primarily ride off pavement ( gravel back road, or trails ) with the occasional ride on pavement they would be okay.Oh and I almost forgot these tires feel much heavier than the Tourance Next likely the reason for the large amount of wheel weights.
First time with a Continental TKC-70 tire. In May of 2022, while riding from Colorado to Douglas, AZ, I noticed a problem with the [then] rear tire when looking closely for nails and such during a refuel stop. Decided to keep going and watch the condition. After two days of riding and now in Silver City, NM, I don't want to leave the area without a new tire. Local powersports store wouldn't touch it since my AT is a street bike. Finding a 150/70-18 aggressive dual-sport tire nearby was impossible. Called RMATV&MC. Received the TKC-70 in two days (Friday) and a local shop installed it Saturday morning. The TKC-70 has been a good tire and now at 5,400 miles, the tire has tread and could be replace sometime in '24. This TKC-70 has been on some gravel roads; but it's ... MoreFirst time with a Continental TKC-70 tire.
