    Heidenau Tires/Dealers

    Seen that there is some dealers in the Northwest, have not checked out any for availability yet or time to get in. But, has anyone used these or talked to someone who has experience with them. Read tons of great reviews.......across the globe. Just looking locally.

    Thanks

    Excellent tire for nearly everything. Long lasting, great in the wet, on gravel, and on the street. The only place they dont excel is in the dirt as the tighter tread pattern simply isnt aggressive enough (for some). That being said, they're still decent off-road, although most dirt oriented riders who go with a K-60 rear, chosse something more aggressive up front.
    Strong/stiff sidewalls make for challenging trailside tire repairs, but as a result their stiff enough you could ride out on a (rear) flat ! There has recently been a slight revision to the design, and the 150 isnt as aggressive as the 140 (the above pic is the 140, the 150 has more rubber in the center, for constant contact)

    I have over 23,000 KM on my bike now with these tires. Second set on my Beemer and used a set on the Triumph Tiger 800XC I borrowed from Triumph Canada last summer to ride to Alaska. So, I guess you can say we have been through three sets on two different types of bikes. We love them to be honest. Robert at MTR sports sells them n Canada and the USA>

    call him

    Do you have them in stock? I want to put a pair on the BMW. Thinking I'd come in this Saturday if you have them.

    Thanks
