I`m sure MATKAT got his and mine from something like 'mynetmoto' online.
Cheap as chips they were.
Yeah, something like that. I got a pair for less than £100 delivered. They come from Germany.

I got mine from a company in Oxford, £110 delivered from Holland for the pair, but I can't remember who they were!
Haven't any of you guys heard of 'Bookmarks'

Yes but I've been through at least 3 computers since I last bought them.
Anyway, 30 seconds of google came up with this link.

Margus and his good lady missus of this parish are going around the world on his 1100gs using them...
That's how long my Enduro 3's lasted on my 100PD.
My Heidenau tyres arrived yesterday from MynetMoto. £111 including delivery from Germany. I took my old rear off last night but forgot I needed new valves
The good news is Garry H's bead breaker worked fine though I'll keep it for emergencies on the road and buy a full size breaker from Ebay.

I like mine, hard wearing, nice and stable, even when loaded with a fat bugger like me on, plus all my camping gear. I would buy the same again.

Which heidenau tyres did you get in the end and how have they worked out?

E.M., I have Heidi K60's on my 1150GS and they seem to be very good. I've done a bit off road, mud and snow and they are almost infinitely better than Tourance's off road. I wouldn't expect them to be as good as TKC's though, I have no experience of those.
On the road they grip well enough to ride to the edge of the tread. Braking is restricted compared with original Tourances.
The images below show a set of tyres with 4,300 miles on them. On the rear tyre you can see that the wear pattern is a bit odd. This is because the blocks distort under cornering load. The upside of this is that although the tyre has squared off from too many motorway miles it doesn't feel as bad as it would on a more road orientated tyre.
Front
Rear (x2)
You can see in the last image how the once square section blocks are turning into triangles
Still grips fine though. The only issue that I've had is on worn coarse "spray tar and and chip" resurfacing they move a lot at higher speeds, a real case of rock and roll which was enough to make me stop and firm up the damping about 8 clisks on the Wilbers. It still moved but didn't feel like it was getting out of hand. Riding slower didn't seem appropriate somehow
6mm of tread remaining on the front and 5mm in the centre on the rear. The rear started at around 12mm.

I'm still on the original K60 front tyre after 7.5k. Loads of tread on it but starting to square off. The second rear tyres almost done in. So I reckon by the time I've covered 11k I'd have used one front and three rear tyres. All I can say about them is they're ok. I preferred the Sahara 3s but they are much more expensive and only last the same amount of time. I'll be looking for an alternative when I finish the front tyre off.
The Heidenaus aren't good in the wet and have an annoying habit of squaring off very quickly. I do prefer them to those hideous TKC's though.
What I find really frustrating and strange given the lack of power and reduced weight of the airheads compared to oilheads is a pair of tyres on my oilheads lasted around 10k but the airheads get through them very quickly

Arr!
But the TKC's are much better in the wet. Rob you need to relax more in the bends. Loosen your grip man! The TKC's will work much better if you let them.Re The increased ware on the Airhead: It's probably because the smaller lighter bike gives the impression of being more fun to ride (nippy even). So one is more likely to 'play' with it in the twisties and give it more beans on the straights. Where as the Oilheads are more powerful so one doesn't need to put in so much effort, therefore getting better fuel and ware rates.
Not sure what mileage we'll get from Jill's TKC's (currently 3500 with no real signs of ware). But my 1200 gives me 14000 from the front and 11000 from the rear.
