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.

Too early to say anything bad, but I like they way the bike handles with them

Something I didn't expect as a new motorcycle rider was the change in the handling of the motorcycle with different tires, which in hindsight may be obvious, but was never mentioned. The OEM on my BMW F650 liked to keep the bike more straight up. I changed both front and rear tires to the K60 scouts and the bike likes to lean more into turns, which is not to say it makes the bike unstable. Perhaps more responsive when you try to turn. My guess is this is due to the lateral angles of the tires.
Yes, I recommend this product.

Which tire size should I purchase?

I have a 2005 BMWF650. I would like to change both the front and back tires.
