Heidenau K60 snowtex
After having several narrow escapes (in the rain) with the original mezeler tyre I got fed up with it and decided to chance to the Heidenau K60 snowtex. It's the first motorcycle tyre especially designed to have more grip in winter conditions (cold, wet, slippery) due to the softer compound.
They go like a dream! When you go offroad you don't recognize the tenere ==> Very grippy and predictable. On the tarmac you've got loats of grip too. I paid � 137,- for the set. Do it, you won't be disappointed. |

Hoi Biking,
which Snowtex type do you have in use? Can't find that K60 on the Heidenau homepage. Just these types: >>klicker<< Gruss hombacher |
I'm using these tyres
http://www.mcwolvega.com/heidenau.pdf Here's the link on the heidenau website http://www.reifenwerk-heidenau.de/co...iew.php?id=117 Off course they will wear faster but on the other side they only cost 137 euro for a set. |
Thank you very much for updating, Biking!
Now I'm thinking how many Tegelen are there in the Netherlands. I just know that Tegelen on the other side of the border line near to Kaldenkirchen-Viersen/D. Groetjes van uit Viersen hombacher |
That's the correct Tegelen. Howdy neighbour.
Maybe we should go for a ride someday. |
I had these tyres on my old 1150, Think the rear tread depth is something like 13mm deep when new. Will have to give a set a go when the Tourance's die.
Seem to remember them being quite cheap too. :D |
Ordered a pair of K60s yesterday from

�102, including delivery. Looking forward to trying them. |
Please, take care.
The K60 and K60 Snowtex do look the same, but they are designed for different weather conditions. The 'normal' K60 is a good allroad, allyear tyre. The Snowtex is especially for winterconditions. They have a (much) better grid in cold conditions. IMPORTANT!!!!!! The Snowtex is designed for the winter, and should be used in winter only. |

Thanks for that Borus... I just had the regular K60s on my GS but they are a great tyre. |

As a blast from the past I've just taken delivery of a pair of the K60 Snowtex for this winter. First impressions are they are very soft. I'm hiding off fitting until nov/dec as we tend to get some here from mid dec through to feb. I hope they aren't like the Mitas e07s in their Tarmac performance!

Fitted back in end of November and managed about 1200 miles before I was laid up after a shoulder operation. Rear seemed to be flatting off a little, but front was fine. Grip was very good in the colder weather due to high silica content. Good in the wet too. Tread would be ok for dirt tracks but would clag in mud.

I fitted a set of K60 Silica winter tyres about 2,000 miles ago - mainly for a camping trip to Chemnitz earlier this month.
Stable and very grippy loaded up on cold, wet motorways and cold, greasy back roads in eastern Germany - even coped well with wet cobbled streets and slushy snowfall. I'm not sure about the mileage I'll get out of them - I'll keep you posted. but certainly as a cold weather, winter tyre they're very impressive. |
