Motorcycle Tires

Post by Elefant60 »

I received my Enduro tires Heidenau K67 today. The load index for the front wheel is 213 kg and for the rear tire 230 kg. I'm insecure. Does this only apply to rider and passenger or is the motorcycle included, which would be impossible with a weight from de motorcycle of 190kg?

213+230 = 443kg.
If that's not enough you're eating too much Älplermagronen.

Hello everyone

Thank you very much for the clarification. That calms me. No, I'm not that heavy yet. And my CS (R) is only a one-seater anyway.
