Totally agree Firko but I'm convinced today's riders are better behaved than those from past generations, as with today's Footy stars if they slip up, the word is out within 5 mins.
Back to the tyre debate.

I'm a bit gun shy to enter into another tyre discussion but here goes anyway..........For those who want to use the old Dunlop K70, Kenda produces this almost identical tyre. I'm not sure if they're available in Oz but I reckon they might be. I'm still shell shocked that you can't use these tyres at this years Temora Nats. I've got a very similar Carlilse that's been suitably softened mounted on my flat tracker so I'll be seeing how it goes compared to the Mitas trials tyre I've mounted on another wheel at Broadford this weekend.

They are a K265 kenda and are availiable here but my CTA price list shows them only in sizes 3.25/18 and 3.50/18. RRP $72 & $75
The Kenda product catologue shows a 3.50/19 in the list.
You might be able to get them on the net somewhere.
Heidenau K34 dont look too bad but might be a bit hard.

What it this front tyre that Pete is running in the States? Looks like it would be good on some of our tracks.

The tyres on the Knight Honda in the US are Shinko Radial 19'', I tried to start with a known tyre, only used it a couple of times, outgated the US flat-track rubber but the races are too long and tracks too wide, the fast guys rounded me up. Used one on the front of my 650 Yamaha at Temora to comply with OEM rule, seemed to work.

Ta Graeme, tried to reply to your email but it kept bouncing back. Get someone in the office to phone me and I'll fix up the postage extras. Thanks for your help, much appreciated.
