Title: Continental TKV 11/12
Post by: FJ1100mjk on April 08, 2015, 12:50:36 PM
Has anyone here burnt through a set of these?

https://www.conti-online.com/www/motorcycle_de_en/themes/motorcycletires/conti_classic_en/tkv1112_en.html (https://www.conti-online.com/www/motorcycle_de_en/themes/motorcycletires/conti_classic_en/tkv1112_en.html)

If so, got any feedback on them?

Not looking to start a tire opinion war here, just wondering about the above tire only.

I am happy with the Conti Motions but they are 17", I am guessing you are looking at these for the 16" options. Not much information given about it on the web site.

Some reviews I found: http://www.tirestest.com/cgi-bin/rtp_review.pl?rt_rubrik=MO&rt_profil=107104133&sortid=4 (http://www.tirestest.com/cgi-bin/rtp_review.pl?rt_rubrik=MO&rt_profil=107104133&sortid=4)

Yes, I am interested in their 16" ones. I saw the review site above before posting. I agree that it is lacking.

Back in the mid 1990's, I ran the TKV's on my Interceptor 500. They worked very well. I am sure they work even better now with newer rubber compounds.

+1 I never ran a set myself but sold a bunch. People liked them, some bought set after set. This was twenty years ago.
