R80g/s Tyres

[robfin]

I have Twinduro tyres fitted, but am looking at replacements.
I see ads for Enduro 2 rear tyres, but not fronts. Are they still available?
My reasoning is that they look like the original tyres fitted from photos....
Comments please.

Try James Sherlock’s, he had lots of the front ones in stock, I bought two.

Enduro 1 for the front and Enduro 2 for the rear. Both are still available.

I have them on my G/S. I think they're a great tyre. This is my second pair.


Have a look here.

Enduro 3s suit me better, in every way.
When the Oz importer has any that is.
Dunlop D604 s are a lot cheaper in Oz and are excellent too, when the 3s are out of stock.
Better than the 1/2 combo.

Enduro 1 and 2's were the standard from the factory fit. They are still available, but are now only made in batches from time to time so can be a bit thin on the ground in between manufacture. They can be a bit pricy because of this.

They are a decent tyre (altho I find they wear quickly) allegedly made specifically for the g/s and I have used them often , however, now I use Conti TKC 70's which are far far superior in every area. And believe me, I have tried pretty much all the tyres out there on my g/s. Apart from aesthetic reasons (if I do a period/detail correct restoration for example-unlikely!) I doubt I will be using the 1 and 2's again.

I like the TKC 70s too. I had them on my 12 when I had it and I have them on my 1150.

As I don't ride the g/s that often, I thought I'd go for the originals for the look as they look great. Sometimes it's not just about performance.

I'm shallow and fit TKC80s on mine because they look the best.

I do when I need to.

Probably explains why you can only use two fingers on the brake before the wheel locks up!

I do need them occasionally

Looks like a lot of the tracks I ride on , and Annekee or Sahara 3s cope fine with them.

Enduro 3 here on the 100GS. Plenty grip on road and on gravel and grass. Reviews say wears a bit fast but such is life, you cant have everything.

 

[tuftywhite]

I do like the look of the Enduro 3s. May be I'll try them next.

Sometimes they can be hard to get but you'll just have to keep looking.

I was in touch with Pirelli for tyres for mine this week - Scorpion not available in stock because of the 21" rim.... tried all srts, again the rear was available but not the front. Ended up ordering Metzeler (same company, I don't if Pirelli own Metzeler, or the other way round) Karoo Street, but it will be a month before they are in stock too... it is the old sizes. They don't stock them - this is the factory in Burton-on-Trent I am contacting, because they used to sponsor us for the Streetfighter Starightliners. No doubt 'Round and black' or other faceless, online, entity will have them - but I would rather deal with an actual person. I'll let you know what they're like once they've arrived.
