AT Tires

[zebulon]

Just seen they are TL type and have read it's good or not , with inner tube ...  on TT rims. 

[Jyrays]

TL has usually harder sidewalls so it is harder to change on road side compared to TT. But somehow I do not see you doing it anyway

It is allowed to use TL on TT, not vice versa.

I had TKC 70's fitted to my Transalp recently on rims which are not tubeless. Fitting a tube fixes that problem and as Jyrays says, it means a little more work changing the tire on the side of teh road should you have a puncture.


I was impressed with the 70's on my recent trip, they have good road manners in the dry and wet.

[zebulon]

Yes, Thank you, interested too on TKC70 but a bit afraid to have TL tires on TT rims... But I perhaps try them .

[Jyrays]

Zeb, afraid of what?

One note, the speed rating is not same as CRF original tires. "only" up to 190 km/h.

[zebulon]

Read on Internet tires can be hotter with TL type on TT rims ... But if it's ok, it's ok   

[Two Plugs]

Have some experiences on the TKC70 from Conti now on David's Transalp, and I am that impressed, that they will be fitted on the XLV's as well (like the CRF and the Transalp spoked rims with tube) to replace both the Michelin Sirac and the Pirelli's with which both bikes are equipped currently.

But I ordered MITAS E07 for AT...

How much kilomètres with the original D610?

How much kilomètres with the original D610? 

3500 km and other 1000 km next weekend. I change them because I am not happy with them, get some more traction on gravel and mostly because of my trip to Portugal
