Heidenau K60 Scout Rear Tire A true 50/50 dual sport tire, the K60 Scout brings a proven balance of performance on- and off-road. With an improved tread and compound, the Heidenau K60 Scout dual sport tires deliver better cornering stability and wet weather grip on the pavement, while delivering off-road as well. The chevron style tread pattern is similar to full knobby designs which provides lots of open space between the tread blocks to route sand, mud and water from the contact patch while constantly keeping some rubber in contact with the road as the tire rotates. This tire is a stand-out as it does not sacrifice on-road longevity and adhesion to the pavement for off-road traction. A difficult feat for any tire to accomplish. TL Tubeless TT Tube Type Tire Please Note Tire size 150/70 -17 has a solid, center band rather than the staggered tread pattern pictured (see below). Tire size 150/70-18 has a less pronounced center tread stagger (see below). Please Note The K60 Scout tread pattern will vary depending on tire size.

I got a set of heinedau k60 Scout for my F800GS, replace with them the Scorpion Pirelli Trail I got since new, 2,000 Kms so far... These tires are awesome on road and didn't have chance to test them off road yet, but I think they will perform well on the type of road I used to road. Important thing is get them well balanced so no problems of vibes. The motorcycle feels safe up to 120 Kms/hr so far... May be up to 140 or more Kms/hr... But I don't usually ride that high....

Machineart Moto Mudsling Rear Fender F800/650 GS Fits F800/650GS twins all years Protects the rear shock from flying mud, rocks and tar, particularly desirable if an expensive after-market shock has been mounted, and helps keep the underseat area cleaner. The Mudsling is beautiful shaped and mounts easily without having to remove the rear wheel. It fastens to the frame with the included two T25 Torx screws utilizing existing mounting locations, and zip ties to the frame side rails. Made from high impact ABS plastic125 thick with a matte black slightly textured finish. Provides plenty of clearance for knobby tires.

does the 150/70/18 also have the solid center?
I know the 150/70/17 has the solid center strip, but what about the 18" version?
You can search the web and get a picture of the heinedau k60 scout where it shows in different sizes the picture of each tire....

Tubeless tires with tube-type rim
I'm considering the Heidenau K60 Scouts for my Triumph Tiger 800XC. The issue is that in the appropriate size (150/70-15 rear and 90/90-21 front) the K60's are tubeless ["TL" designation in the part number], whereas my rims require innertubes.
My question: Is it OK to run tubeless tires with tubes?
My question: Is it OK to run tubeless tires with tubes?
Gina, the rear should be 150/70/17 no rim 15... Answering your question... There is not a problem using tubeless tires with inner tubes... The problem is using tube tires in a tubeless rim.... So go ahead and enjoy the k60 scout. I recommend to use heavy duty inner tubes.. So less opportunity to get flat...
