Heidenau K60 Scout Front 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 Scout delivers 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 = Tubless
  • TT = Tube Type Tire

I ride a BMW 1200 GS I replaced the Tourance with this. The K60 is a little noisier and has slightly less traction on wet pavement. Though if you ride off road at all this is a much better option than the Tourance, it hooks up great in soft conditions and still has good road manners. I small loss on the pavement for a huge gain in the dirt.

Mounting the tire was not as bad as some of the reviews I had read. I warmed the tire in a greenhouse before mounting. I have always run TKC-80'S because they have a predictable feel in corners. This feels even better both on and off road(sand).
The tire seemed well balanced and only used 30 grams of weight to balance.
Side walls are stiff so I think the ride is a little rougher than the TKC-80.
Longevity is yet to be determined.
Yes, I recommend this product.

Well I just mounted my new K60. I have less then 500 miles so far on the tire.
My initial observations are:
1) It looks like it belongs on my GS
2) I have had it in pretty heavy rain and even in rain with cold roads it held a line very well
3) Offroad traction is a lot better then stock tires
4) Too early to tell on wear but so far looks to be pretty tough tire ... still has a few "nubs" left
5) Will update after trip as far as wear/handling. Will be leaving for 14K mile run mid May

Love this tire. Has a bit of a hum at interstate speeds and corners different than a street tire but sticks well. I love this tire and have over 6k on one currently and it still looks new.

I bought this tire to match the rear K60. Although my research showed that many people had issues with this front tire in the dirt, I purchased it anyway. Within five miles on my first OffRoad trip, I was down. A light two-finger tap on the front brake in a left-hander on hard-packed road with sand/gravel coating and it let go immediately. I dropped the pressure to 20lbs and finished the ride without further incident. This tire is mounted on a 950 Adventure. I've also noticed some chunking after a 100 mile combined street/dirt ride.
No, I do not recommend this product.

Most likely the best 60/40 tire around. They get a little greasy if you have a bad throttle hand on pavement, but do very well offroad for a dualsport tire.

I'm assuming these are bias ply tires and not radials?

Answer: 
The Heidenau K60 Scout tires are bias ply, not radial. The "B" you see in the larger tire denotes a difference in the center tread pattern, not a designation of tire type.

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?

Answer: 
You can always run a tube in a tubeless tire, so running the Heidenau K60 Scout on your Tiger with a tube will work fine. Conversely, you cannot run a tube tire without a tube.
