I think the new one with the solid center is the new K60 scout... The other is older type if you can find one... Ive read everywhere that they wear great.. This is the tires im looking for aswell... I read that 50 sets came in the country in the last few weeks... they sold OUT the first day............ Looks to be a good dirt / street tire that guys with 990's and GS's are getting 8-9K miles on a Hybrid tire....Salty said:I am looking to source Heidneau K60s close to Nova Scotia any suggestions. Has any one found or fabricated front fender extentions, say 2 inch, to compensate for mud.

I'll wear out the OEM stones first, but these are looking like a strong contender.~TABASCO~ said:For sure... if your doing about 80-20 looks like a killer set.... you getting a set Rod ?
HoebSTer said:My Scouts just arrived UPS!!!! Yahoo!!!! Oh Rats, I don't have a bike for them!!!! These thing look SWEET in person!!! I am amazed how stiff they are. I would think this will help with the mileage. The load rating for the rear alone is 700 and change!!! The front has 500lb rating!!!! Man this is going to get good!!!!
Oh, my carbon vinyl 4'x6' piece came today as well!!! IT must be Christmas!!!
HoebSTer said:Tabasco. what do you want pics of??? Me sitting on the tires? Me singing to the tires??? Me washing the tires??? Me rolling the tires around the back yard???? What?? I am not that desperate!!!! You want me to photograph a ruler in the lugs???
Hmm???? :lamp:

Hop on the super tenere and go get a work out ! not much longerHoebSTer said:i don't need a tire added to make me a michelin man thats for sure. Man, where did i put that gym membership?
dcstrom said:Well had my first weekend away with the K60 rear on my Vee. Was kind of a getting-to-know-you weekend and a good test to see if it's a tire I want to eventually fit to the S10.
I came away with the answer being... a definite maybe. Basically it depends on the kind of riding you're going to be doing. Wear rate is a big factor in the decision on this tire too, so will have to wait and see how that goes.

My thoughts exactly.ColoRider said:Good report Trevor!!!! I'm really leaning AWAY from this tire since I see myself in the true 90-10 type of rider and prefer the tire to preform best for the money in that 90 area, not the 10 - which I'm sure the K60's really shine.
