heidenau k60 |

Well needed some new rubber. I ride on road 80% , but am not |
|
ready to give up all off road capability. I was debating between |
|
the k60 and k60 scout. the k60 looks like it will be a little |
|
better off road, i was actually leaning towards the scout. found |
|
a deal front and rear k60's on ebay 249. free shipping. could |
|
not beat the price. My stock tires were shot after 800 miles , |
|
not that i mind running them with low tread but the front end |
|
was suffering from head shake. |
|
So hopefully these will last a while. I will post some pict's |
|
latter. |

Yup, my K60s should be here any day now . I got em off eBay as |
|
well. Paid $275 for a pair. Got the 150 rear. I'm sure they're |
|
gonna be a bear to mount, but they should be worth it. I too |
|
ride mostly street, but I'm looking to more off-roading on my |
|
future trips to the Appalachians :P |

So I finally got my Heidenau K60s on the ol' Pig. |

The rear is a 140. I originally had a 150 on the rear but I |
|
damaged it during installation. These were the toughest damn |
|
tires I've ever had to put on. I actually ended up breaking a |
|
band in the bead of the 150. I tried to make it work, but it |
|
ended up causing the tire to be permanently out of balance. So |
|
that was about $180 down the drain :P |
|
Live and learn I guess :'( |

This is a comparison of the old vs. new. My old set were Perelli |
|
MT90 Scorpions. They were 70/30 rated. Really solid street |
|
tires, but not much in the way of offroad. This pic shows both |
|
of them as 150 rears. |

The front was WAY easier to put on compared to the rear. I am |
|
very confident with the Heidenau tires on asphalt so far. |

How have the K60's been working for you guys? |
|
With my previous KLX650C, I would burn through tires like the |
|
MT21's and a similar Dunlop. Then, I preferred to have a good |
|
edge for off-roading. Still my preference. So, I've done some |
|
cost comparisons the show multiple purchases. |

i have 2000 miles on mine , rear is wore off in the middle and |
|
needs replaced, but still good on the hyway. the front is good |
|
for another rear. but as much as i like the rear off road and |
|
on. the front is better suited for onroad . would like to find |
|
a better front, but maybe im expecting to much. |
