KH model tires 2020.....

Postby PeterB » Tue Feb 11, 2020 2:00 pm

Hello,
are there any good tires to get in a payable range ? The Firestone’s are real expensive !
Any suggestions for 3.50 x 18 and 4.00 x 18 rear ...?
greetings
Peter

Give me a call and we can discuss your options, the Dunlop K70 is a good choice for the rear but they don't make a matching 350x18" front. Kirk 714 879-0500

Hello Kirk,
thanks, but I‘m from Germany, so should buy here because of shipping costs.
Currently there is a Firestone ( front ) and a Avon with the bike.
With street releases here ! I expect stress alone of the fact that there are 2 diff wheel marks on the bike....
Options are Firestone but cost here ~ 500$.....crazy
greetings

I have been running Hiedenau K34 3.50 x18 front and rear on my 1961 XLH and am really pleased with them. The round profile is a huge improvement over the original squarish Goodyear Eagles that I had been running. The tread pattern is sort of vintage looking...popular with /2 Beemer guys.

I have had great luck with Speedmasters. But I ride slow, dirt, grass, ice some asphalt... ;)

I'm running Dunlop K70s front and rear of my 1954 KH with 19" wheels.

There are very good "Supereagle" replicas available, also with "H" speedindex and legal in Germany. Unfortunately only in 4,0 x 18 -- your bike would have 3.50 x 18 front and rear.
