PRODUCT REVIEW I
T
he TKC 70 Rocks, which is a rear-only
tire, is meant to be combined with
their standard TKC 70 front. The idea
is to give customers who want aggressive
off-road capability more options while still
providing longevity and good all-around
street performance. The TKC 70 Rocks is
a 60/40 on/off single-compound tire that
uses Continental's MultiGrip technology to
achieve a continuous transition from the
grippy shoulder to the higher mileage, more
wear-resistant center. It also incorporates
ZeroDegree steel-belted construction for
stability at high speed and Conti's superior
RainGrip compound. The Rocks is available
in these sizes: 130/80-17, 140/80-17, 150/70-
17, 170/60-17 and 150/70-18, and MSRP
ranges from $259 to $313.
