Pick up a set of TKC80s and more over at shop.yammienoob.co !
Yo Yammie, think you guys would ever start carrying MotoZ tires?
So far the best stuff I've found for adventure nerds that like singletrack.
The Adventure Rear and DV front from them has so far been "TKC80s, but they last longer than a TKC on a mid size bike"
Josh is really coming to his own! I remember when he first appeared in videos he felt a bit shy and uncertain but no more. 👍 Keep up the good work!
Good GOD I am impressed at how cool you were about that truck cutting over two lanes. That was more reckless than most "reckless" driving other bikers freak out about.
Those look like some decent trails to have close to home!
Don't forget about the IRC TR8 Battle Rally tires. They're basically IRC copies of the TKC80 with a slightly different rubber compound. I have a set on my 250L and they do great.
Beginning to really like the addition of Josh to the team. But God I thought yammie bad off road 😂 3:15 made me laugh. I’d love to see Josh learn off roading more, like standing up and body positioning. I see a bigger future for yammie noob as a Company if you stay creative and change as you grow.
I love the TKC 80's! I run them on my DRZ400SM and they do great on the trails and ripping fields.
they are also amazing on road after your break the rubber in after about 50 miles on the street. They take corner really good and just a great tire to rip the streets and hop a curb and hit a field or ditch on the side of the road to go around traffic haha
I'm running shinko 705s on my DRZ400SM and they fun as heck in fields, and pavement. They suuuuuuck in mud and slick surfaces but they're plenty thick and can take some harsh terrain.
Another duel sport video?? 😩
Jus teasin, Josh is really starting to relax on camera. It’s cool to see the others impressions on the bikes too
I had CONTINENTAL TKC80 in 2 bikes and yes on ASPHALT are supreme.
I have watched videos where the wheelie the CRF300 L off road with stock tires,. But I would like to know how they compare to the Dunlop D606 rear and a Pirelli M 16 or M21 front. On and off road. Thanks for the great video. Are they stock size or taller and if taller what size rear sprocket would you go to. I am thinking a 45 tooth with the D606.
Might need to get these for my 300 Rally. On the trails and gravel using stock rubber I feel the rear getting squirrelly when I’m not even turning
I went with Mitas E07 on my Rally, but have had TKCs in the past… great tire 👍
I've tried several sets of tires and ended up finding mixing a rear Dunlop D606 and front Pirelli MT21 gives you the best of both worlds and wear very well.
Have a set waiting to go on my CRF300L Rally once I wear down the stock set.
@@marcochavane3124 Thanks was think the same Dunlop D606 rear but Pirelli M16 front. Just waiting for my bike to be set up the way I want it, hope not much longer also what rear sprocket are you running with the taller tires.
I have the TKC 80's on my 890R adv and they are awesome
@7:58 that looks a lot like the comfort level of my Vulcan S at 60... I am going to go re-think my whole life now.
I was gonna put these on my Bonnie, but I went with the continental tkc70's instead they get you connected to the road they don't scramble as good as the tkc80 but I ride on paved roads anyway. Thanks for the review Josh n Yammie
I'll take it off your hands. It'd be a perfect first bike. Coomme oooooonn 😊
Great job guys as always. What profile did you go with from TKC80 range given that the CRF300 OEM IRCs are slightly different from what’s available from Continental?
exactly
I'm getting the anakee wild for my rear soon, the 300L is absolutely the best beginner bike if you're interested in off roading even a little.
yam rated the KLX 300 best. so do I. so does every1. arent u watching and doing/buying everything like a good lil yammie squid?
Nah, I just choose good old red, cheaper and just as, if not more reliable. So what I gotta spend some money's on upgrades. I'm about to go ride mine, what about you lmao
@@acrazedtanker1550 brains of a bull eh? see red an go for it? Team Green's a more thought out choice. as every1 knows..
@@ribalderr6052 didn't even read my reply. Enjoy your videos of other people riding.
I'm getting some K270's next. TKC 80's are a little out of my budget
Lol OEM tires are fine on this terrain, this is basically a fire road.
Could you say what travel bags have you on the CRF300 L?
Agreed TKCs 80 are great!
Will these fit on a 2017 rally? And are there any other good options that are 60 on 40 off road tires that you guys would suggest? Thanks
Josh is killing it in these videos lately. Great to see his confidence growing. Making me want to get a dual sport now. Just have to decide if I want another bike or if I would prefer to stay married. 😁
Marriage is over rated
u gotta get her on her own bike 1st, then u get the dual sport. I doubt she'll want a dual sport too, so maybe u'll have to get her some new grips, or helmet, jacket, boots, an thereyago- u got yur dual-sport. yur broke anyways, but still married. probably.
What exact size did you put on front and back? They don't 100% match the OEM sizes that I can tell. Need to upgrade my tires and have heard good things about the Continental.
when going to the taller tire form 80 to 90 you need at least a 43 tooth sprocket to get back the same rear wheel torque but I am going with a 45, to get a little extra, I have seen some using a 49 tooth. I want to see what the 45 is like first before going higher.
I recently got a WR250R and need to get new tires what do you recommend? I do slightly more street so I’m thinking 60 street and 40 off.
@8:09 Red truck tried to kill Josh! I'm surprised at how cool headed Josh was about it
Thsts totally normal in Austin
@@philipparana9225 everywhere. everyday. every ride. veteran riders have developed ninja reflexes from years of it. dont even get mad anymore, shout, flip-off, or take mirrors... well, much anymore, their blood pressure an adrenaline never rising above normal, or even a beep beep. jus tha way it is. don't take it personal n get upset, not worth it, an wont change nothing. certainly not their driving. everyday is another level of "frogger" passed.
@@ribalderr6052 I just wave at the ones who see me after. I tell people if you have time to use the horn you have time to avoid it.
Hi viz helps
@@ridenm7748 honestly, I wear no hi viz. I believe public is immune to it, that it makes no difference at all.
from over-saturation. everywhere they look its there. seen plenty a moto madness an such they got got wearing full hi viz.
I have some white reflecto trim on some jackets, and red on another.
still a near miss every ride. they just dont care an not looking man, dont depend on that an think ur safe.
The TKC's have a more agressive tread pattern than the stock ones that's why they grip better off-road and just a little bit worse on the highway. I thought the stock tires were more than decent on every terrain except mud and ran my 300L stock tires for almost 7000km (4350 miles) before switching to SM wheels.
I have these on my KTM 640 Adventure. Theyre sweet off road actually totally surprisingly good onroad... Offroad I just open it up and go for it. They do everything I ask them to do. On a 1-10 scale Im prob 4 or 5 agressive rider on the street sometimes 5 or 6 but in the dirt Im an 8. I let it rip. At higher speed on gravel 40-60mph the front tire isnt optimal its a little slippery but its very good on the road... I will say its entirely adequate but I always want to go faster... the rear locks up so well its difficult to powerslide and thats saying something. I dont think Ive ever had a better performing 50/50 tire. There prob are some but I havent had em...yet. Ive had dirt tires that powerslide on the road, takes a lot of getting used to. A dirt tire like that isnt for everyone on the road. Downright dangerous if you dont have the chops or the bike for it. Ive also had crap 50/50's that sucked so bad in the dirt I took em off in a week and got something else, so in comparison. TKC 80's are awsome. You can bet on em. I think a big bike would eat em up quick but theyre still gonna be sweet. Theyre doin ok on the 640 which is 158 Kg about 350 lbs dry plus 7 gallon tanks so another 50 lbs 400 plus me Im old and fat Im prob putting close to 670 lbs on em with tools and gear. think that CRF300 is prob about a 130-140Kg prob 310 lbs wet.
I've just had some put on the KTM 990 they are great lots and lots of grip but they do wear down quite quickly!!!
try the battlax AX41 adventurecross from bridgestone they wear out just as fast but they grip much better both on and off road.
Sounds like you ride too much pavement hahaha
I run the pirelli Scorpion rally fronts and shinko 805 rear been getting 4 to 5k on them on my T7. Which are far more aggressive than the TKCs. But then again I ride 75/25 dirt/street, if not more.
I just recently bought my first bike, it's a lightweight, low power scrambler style bike and the previous owner mounted these tkc80 in order to use the bike off road too. When I go close to highway speeds it feels a bit wobbly/unstable, could the tires be the cause? Or should I look at the suspension? (The front is 43 mm non-adjustable traditional forks, the rear is dual adjustable preload shocks).
P.S. they also don't feel very confidence inspiring when leaning in the corners but that's to be expected with knobby tires right? (It feels like it's hard to lean in the first few degrees then all of a sudden it feels like the bike wants to lean a lot, I guess it has to do with the geometry of the rubber blocks?)
TKC80 is the gold standard, only downside is that it wears fairly fast.
How many km?
@@safwanrashid6747 Depends on the speed you ride and the weight of the bike. If you go very slowly on a 150cc bike it will last a long time.
I see y'all don't have any Large Arai helmets in stock at the moment. Any idea when they'll be back? I'm trying to win this bike, I need my entries!
I love TKC80's but can't get them anywhere right now
Is there a tubeless version of this tire from Continental??
What bags are equipped in this video?
What size tyres did you fit? the standard front is 80/11/31 and rear 120/80/18. The TCK80's dont come in these sizes
Exactly! Yammie please comment for those of us that have the 300L and are interested.
Yes id like to know what sizes are on the bike
Front is a 31" that's huge good job the profile is only 11 that must be like a rubber band
You can get a 3.00 21 for the front. The rear will either be a 110/80/18 or a 120/90/18 I would go with the latter.
I think the suspension is next. Tyres sure, suspension essential.
Hey you should check out a rx4 so I don't got to spend 5.5 grand to see if it is good
A whole video on TKC80's and you dont even bother to say what size you used. doesnt look like tkc80 come in oem sizes.
Front no problem, rear 120 90 18, no problem to fit
quick question, do you need front blinkers in poland?
Call your local police, they should know all the regulations you need, sir.
Just send it.
I believe so yes
In Spain no. Hand signals are acceptable. I had a tag on my KTM 300 no turn signals.
Europe is not one place
Hey bro getting my first bike and I want to have a good beginner helmet. What helmet would you recommend around $150 or less
Hjc makes a awesome one I just picked up in flat black
LS2 hands down for dual sport
AX-39 or for a little more AX-41. ECE rated
What is the lifespan for this tyres?
Honestly love the offroad vids🤙🤙🤙
Please release the off-road wheelie footage. Please
what in God's name is the reason honda routes that brake line in a 3 ft loop straight up in the air in front of your view?. along with less low end & the awful awful! "bouncey-ball" suspension, its a KLX all day every day.
In case the lever breaks you can just pull the wire with all your paniced might? 😅
Went with the klx of the crf300l and couldn’t be happier
@@MaaZeus LOL good one!
1'40....Ahh! Ya poor devil!
Kinda wish the test was thorough with all the conditions a person would expect to encounter. This vid comes off more as an advert without it.
Where’s spite ? Just curious
I’ve done it I’ve made my biggest mistake opened up the flood gates of a cash cow of a drug I’m buying a bike tomorrow
Just buy tusk or kenda fronts (dot). And kenda trackmaster rear (dot). Front and rear will set you back $115 on rocky mountain atv. You will eat the rear in 500miles if you ride pavement often, but the tire is $55. Easily the most aggressive tires on the market that are street legal.
Continentals are great and all but for this type of bike absolutely not. Continentals were made for high weighted bikes as the GSRS, ktm 890s and up, pretty much any bike over 300 lbs. That's why the are expensive gotta support the weight.
Had a ktm 500 exc and only ran the tires in the first paragraph. Now have a T7 and found shinko 805 rear and pirelli Scorpion rally front is a kickass combo, can get around 2000+ miles. I ride 75/25 dirt/street.
Rocky mountain has deals throughout the year in the pirelli Scorpion rally front for $80 a piece. 805s will run you $120
Really liked the Michelin Anakee wilds on my T7, but they only lasted 2-3k. Currently running a Shinko 804/805 combo. They were great on my DR650(rode to Alaska and back from AZ on two sets) good mileage(5-6k), and pretty affordable.
@@markchalloner5883 how long did the trip take?
@@hudbenz1 two months! I definitely took my sweet ass time though. Rode the Continental Divide route up to Montana, then up through Canada and all around Alaska(made it all the way up to Prudhoe Bay!). I also hit a few random BDR segments on my way back down.
"TKC80s are for 300+ pound bikes..." like the CRF300L. lol They are superb on the CRF. They are expensive because people pay for them.
How can I get involved with your videos I'd be very interested
If he wanted to have people involved beyond what he has I’m sure he’d ask bruh
Just shooting my shot
Anyone know how these tires do in sand?
Not good in soft sand or other soft surfaces. Good everywhere else.
All tires suck in sand, because sand sucks. But of all the sucky sand tires, these do O.K. Technique and skill are more important.
@@markchalloner5883 metzeler mc360 mid-soft hold pretty well in sand. Compared to pirelli rally and Kenda trak master, anyway.
Constructive criticism ahead, I hope. This review is not that great. Since this is a tire review, you have to spend more time describing your setup. What size tires did you put (we know not too many OEM size options there)? What is the effect of this tire combo on this particular bike's performance? What tire pressure did you use on and off-road? Tire compound, etc. Instead, all we see/hear is lame sales tactics and I feel this and that. Thumbs down for this video.
josh is cool but we want spite
Noraly's bike
Can i buy a motorcycle without a class M endorsement
Yes, in most states, just get a permit. But I would recommend doing the MSF before buying a bike or lots of gear. Unless you have already ridden and know what you want.
Ugh where is spite :((( rip brother, josh is…. Meh not the same classic energy. I hope he changes my mind in future vids
He's riding his KLR
Well not real rubber
I have a pair of those "Flying eyes" prescription glasses. With bifocal prescription, anti relective lenses and transition lenses they cost me $1300 total. I'm sure the sunglasses are much cheaper than getting those frames with prescription lenses.
