ALL NEW Metzeler Karoo Street Tire 80/20 Adventure Rider More Street Less Dirt 

I managed to get my hands on a set of these early on for my R1200GSA and after only about 1,000 miles so far I am just tickled with the street performance. The Karoo Streets feel very planted even at speed and fully loaded, excellent in the wet and passable in the off-road. I found the Karoo Streets to glare off rocks that my previous Shinko 705's would roll over with little notice - not really a bad thing, just something worth noting - typically on a R1200GS/A you are standing and allowing your big beast to dance under you a bit especially on downhill river stone type fire roads that have been washed out a bit last spring... I ran into this very thing with the local BMW ADV club and found the Karoo Streets workable even in that kind of difficulty - regular fire road duties, the Streets engendered confidence even at speed on dry hardpack clay roads that were rough in places. I have to say, overall, I prefer the Karoo Streets to ALL of my previous tire sets and am OK with both the limits and mild glaring the tires exhibited off-road. Note also that I always run all tires at the factory max cold pressure, in this case of 42psi front/rear. I know most will lower the pressure for better off-road work but these tires get way too hot in my opinion at reduced pressures on 80+ degree heated asphalt streets and highways for lengths of time - they won't last long at such high temps... I suspect... Currently I am also quite pleased with the current wear trends with this tire as well... I'm 6' 1" about 200lbs with loaded aluminum panniers and large top soft trunk so we are talking roughly 900lbs all together...

Hey Guys - I just bought a new Africa Twin (non- Adv Sports) w/Karoo Street tires, I am going to put these tires on a new Set of Tubeless Wheels.... but they have "Tubed Tire" on the sidewall.... are there 2 types of Karoo Streets? (Tubed & Tubeless??) or are they BOTH OK Tubeless?

Here is the Karoo Street Tire "Review or Test" video: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-lmIDjzT3bp8.html Enjoy!

If the Karoo 3 is a 50/50 the Street is a 70/30

Looking for a next set of tires and this one is on my list, but it's still not in stock in Europe in size 90/90/21, so I will probably go for another one, because they need to be changed soon depending on the weather. Do you maybe have more info from that Metzeler guy? I need the 150/70/17 and the 90/90/21 for my Tiger 800 XCx.
