Title: DL250 tyres similar to a TKC80 etc
Post by: wirral_biker on August 29, 2023, 20:11:37

Fancy some 'knobblies' on my little DL250 !   Tyre sizes are  F 110/80 17  and R 140/70 17.    I cannot find TKC80 in the size required for a DL250.   What are the options ( even non metric size ) or similar makes/pattern fitted by owners etc   Thanks.

Heidenau K60 Scouts should come in the sizes you require.

Nearly, but no cigar :-(     Look's like due to front wheel being a 17" then a road based AVON or a Bridgestone Battlax BT46 57H TL Motorcycle Front Tyre 110/80-17   look the only option.   Waaaah ! :angry-banghead:

I've not checked sizes, but Mitas might have something to suit.

Odd ... I've sold Heidenau tyres in the past and it's them I go to for odd size tyres, they rarely let me down.
