Heidenau K60
« on: November 05, 2009, 08:43:55 »
Anyone used these?

they sound really good to me - slightly cheaper than TKC's, longer expected life and apparently tough as old boots with reinforced sidewalls. Apparently the rear is a bit of a pig to change with the thicker walls but could put up with that, especially if it meant I was les likely to slice it up.

Where did you find these ? I'd never heard of them before your post. I had a look on their website and they 'talk the talk' but no idea if they'll be any good, could be worth a punt, Bry.

It's a few quid to shell out on a set of tyres and they are such a personal thing it's hard to say 'just do it', because if they don't suit your style it's money down the pan. Mind you 'shy bairns get now't' as they say, good luck   :thumb:

anybody tried these? They look like they might be 'the tyre' for me. Decent mileage on road, and decent grip offroad makes Hutchie  cheerie

If not, I'll be trying them next I reckon. My tourance rear is squaring off like I've never seen on a tyre before. I can stop at lights and just wait balanced on the tyre (not really, but not far from the truth). Loads of tread left, and still rolling into bends nicely, but it looks square! square I tells you! square and tyre should not even be allowed in the same sentence.

I think its a trait of the tourance tyre to square off because the shoulders are as hard as the centre - they last a decent length of time though.
