Hello and Tyre Question

Post by olafur »

Hello all,

New to riding and I'm a happy owner of an AJS Tempest Scrambler.

I love the bike, its been great fun so far but I've found on the roads around me the backend feels 'wobbly' with the off-road tyres and not overly confidence inspiring.

Does anyone know what road tires will fit on the scrambler? I've searched around like a mad man looking for metric sizes and conversions and its completely baffled my brain.

I have had my Tempest Scrambler since December 2019, now covered 1,600, I found the tyres inflated to 32psi when I got it, this picked up all the road defects, I set them both at 24psi which is a great improvement.
You may find Heidenau K60 90/90-18 for front and Heidenau K60 120/90-17 for rear.
These are made in Germany.
Look at my tyres.co.u.k but use the metric measurements as above.
