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<<

I'm using these tyres

Here's the link on the heidenau website

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.

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 http://www.mynetmoto.com/motorradrei...cle_tyres.html

�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.
