Heidenau K34 Tire Experience

Postby 44UL » Wed Dec 30, 2020 10:57 pm

I recently bought a ‘56 KHK and it had radial tires on it, so naturally i wanted to put something more proper on it. I tried the Heidenau K34 3.50-18 and 4.00-18 tires. I have Firestone ANS tires on almost all my other antique bikes because they look and ride the best out here in Southern California on our rain grooved concrete freeways, but they don’t offer a 3.50-18...
Got em mounted and balanced and went for a rip today...and they are as bad as Super Eagles on the aforementioned grooved freeway. Rode it the 30 miles or so home tonight down the 22 and the 405. I got them from Revzilla, not sure if i can return them or not, but I’m less than thrilled. On blacktop they seem fine.

Anyone know if a 4.00-18 ANS will fit in the front fender?
