heidenau k60 tyres on 1150gs

Chaps

Just had a pair fitted to the ol lump, in preference to TKC80's. Only problem is the pressure to run em at, I have started with 33/37 as a guess cos' they are a smaller size than standard.

wots the best wisdum on these new hoops

On tarmac or dirt? Tubeless or tubed?

To be honest, with all the "knobblies" I've tried (although I haven't tried Heidenaus), the pressure hasn't made a huge difference to the handling. I tend to use 20/25 psi on dirt and 32/36 on tarmac. But if I forget to reinfate after a days dirt riding, tarmac handling isn't that bad. I think the lower pressures will cause faster wear though.

If you have inner tubes and rim locks (unlikely on a GS I know) you could probably drop as low as 15/20 psi.

Okay chaps,
I will stick with standard pressures for the road , and I may asses the offroad pressures for the Tong day!

Hi, Any chance of a little review?

What are they like on road? Wet and Dry...? In comparison to TKC's and Tourances..?

Thanks.

I`ve not used them on an Oilhead,but I`ve got them on the LegoBike (much modded R80G/S) and they`re at least as good as anything else I`ve ever used...if not better.
From brand new and zero miles they were superb on wet greasy roads witrh the bike loaded for the BMF Rally,and they`re awesome in the dry.
No vibration,minimal noise,maximum grip,total predictability and feedback.
All for £75 a pair...
