Heidenau K60 Scout

Before embarking on my trip from Edmonton to Los Angels, I chose the K60's both front and rear to ride on.

I was VERY pleased with the amount of grip these had for a dual sport tire. For the first 5 days of my ride there was rain. Constant rain. Thankfully I was still able to enjoy the twisty roads through British Colombia and Washington on these. When I reached the Washington coast, I was met with what felt like a monsoon, not once did I feel the tires "float" on the road.

These aren't the cheapest tire available, but the life of them makes up for the premium price tag. I was able to ride over 10 000km on them which from my limited experience is  fantastic for a 50/50 dual sport tire.

I would highly recommend these tires for anyone who mostly rides street, but still enjoys to boot down gravel roads and some light single-track. My only complaint about them is that they do not shed mud very well (see my ride at Shiningbank) but that is to be expected giving the tread design they have.
