    I'm trying to find a 130?/17 rear ADV style tyre with
    a square profile , flat tread area.. Chin Shin use to make 510/17 trials
    patten tyre that would have been perfect.... but not
    seen them around for years now...

    so whats out there....??

    Might we ask your reasoning sir ?

    PS, you can still get Trials tires for sure (Mitas even ?)

    Sounds like he's being up an adv sidechair again...

    The E07 is probably the flattest profile.
    Apart from a Pirelli MT43...

    Yes you may ask....

    I am in the process of building a daka style ADV sidecar unit
    for my XT660R... " yes again Mr Nordie"
    As it won't lean... I dont require rounded profile tyres which
    would wear the centre out very fast...

    Or cheap tyres that can be replaced...

    Ah ha, the physics of that makes sense, In Amer ica I think they put car tires on bike rims as well ?

    PS. An old friend of mine raced motorcross side cars in the British champs many moons ago, they go hard on those things

    Car tyres on bikes (aka darksiding) works BUT bike and car rims have quite different profiles, which can lead to tyre failure.
    it's not a bad thing till you throw a KLR into the mix.
    those cheap ass bitches can do anything with ductape.

    The K60 range has variations in tread pattern based on the tyre size so effectively there are four different types in the K60 range

    Here is some feedback on the K60-140/130 and K60-150/70
