Hello,
Is anyone knows about some more off-road tire options (brand, model and sizes)?
Thanks

continental TKC 80, but being m+s tyres, speed code is a step lower, so officiale couldn't fit.

you can see them on my bike, just brows my gallery in signature or my posts here

I like them... how do you like them? Good in the soft stuff?

tyres work fine, good handling and traction on dirty roads, I'm running on 1,6 bar pressure and bike is still fun even on paved roads where oem tyres have better performance. strongly suggested for "adventures" thanks to their endurance, abt 10k km instead of 5k I'm expecting from eom pirelli

Great! Thanks for your information. Your bike looks good, hand guards too!
What are the exact sizes Front & Rear?
You still have space with the swing arm using original sprockets?

 

[Asiaoildude]

I like those tyres.

 

[Hedonism]

size are the same, the only difference is the "speed code" that is Q (up to 100 mph) instead of R (up to 160 mph)

clearances with swingarms / mudguards / plate holder, are all ok

I also like those tires a lot. My only worry has been the 110/80 x 18 tire is specified as a rear tire so no idea if profile is right for front tire. But being as Hedonism hasn't found them problematic, it shouldn't be a biggie.

Are the Rear and Front tyres interchangeable? TKC80 seems to just quote size and not Front/Rear separately? Am I wrong on that?

 

[vibration]

I'm also looking at the tire equation and wondering how exact one must be with replacement tire sizes. Where the stock sizes are 110/80-18 front and 180/55-17 rear, would the replacement dual-purpose (more aggressive tread) tires need to be precisely those sizes as well? And what would happen if you got a rear from one manufacture and a front from another?...with different tread patterns?

Nice phodies.

Apparently Continental TKC 80 are the only brand that does not distinguish between front and rear tyres. Seems like all-side-same-side.

From what I can tell, the Conti TKC 80 doesn't come in a 110/80/18. They do have a 180/55-17 for the rear. What size, Truent, are you using in front?

I am using 110/80-18 on the Front and 180/55-17 on the back. The trick is Continental call both of these "rear" tires, but it's not a problem.

Ah...I get it...thanks

 

[vibration]

Hmm...I can't find anyone in the USA who sells a TKC 80 rear that is 110/80-18. What's up with that?

 

[vibration]

So I can get one sent over from the UK, but the next question...will it fit under an ICON front fender?

To be honest, if it was me, I'd get the tire and modify the fender brackets if need be, but I very much doubt you'll have trouble.

I'm amazed they are not in the US. A Container load of TKC 80 sets for Scramblers to the US anyone?
