I've used hidenaus for years, conti 365 were utter rubbish. Way too hard I did around 1500 miles on them before taking them off and slinging them, they looked brand new!! Tyres wear out thru wear hidenaus wear out on the rear fast because they grip causing wear. The 100 x 90 are lower rated than the 350 x 10 but are adequate for rally use. I go thru 5-6 a year on the back.

I haven't used the K61 but I have done several thousand miles on K47 and K58 tyres over the last 4 or 5 years since the initial Schwalbe scare. Both the K47 and K58 are grippy and, whilst I have never had a blow out on them, the sidewalls are reinforced. I wouldn't use anything else at the moment. Grippy tyres do wear quicker but I don't recognise the
Low mileages quoted elsewhere on this thread.

Maybe I ride too sedately these days :-)

Shame about the 365s, if anyone does remember the re-branded name please update this post
Scootsmart about same mileage as the k61's. If I had to choose I think I'd go for the k61's.
Using Scootsmarts on one of my scooters, and they are good, but for me I'd go k61 ( even after a season on the Dunlops last year , including Germany )

Has anybody tried the new Heidenau K80SR tyre yet? Similar tread pattern to the Dunlop Scootsmart but 3.50 is 59M rated which I prefer over the 51P of the Scootsmart [though there is a Scootsmart in 59J]
The German manufacturer describes the K80 SR as a "sporty all-rounder for scooters" and says that the positioning of the tyre's tread grooves and its newly-developed casing help the K80 SR deliver good straight line performance and precision when cornering at speed. A "specifically-mixed compound" is said to be responsible for providing grip and good braking characteristics on dry and wet road surfaces. Other stated K80 SR qualities are high mileage, low rolling resistance and a good balance between ride comfort and handling precision.

Available in 2 sizes, choose from options list.

3.50 -10 (59M) K80 SR

100/90 -10 (61M) K80 SR

I am playing all the right notes, but not necessarily in the right order.
