Hi all tracker/scrambler fans!

I have always thought Heidenau K34 sort of had the right flattrack type thread, while still being an approved street tyre.
Until recently, they widest available sizes were 3.50-18 and 4.00-19.
I guess this could work well when using a 19" front wheel in the back as well, with the available adapter kits, with 4.00-19 rear and 3.50-19 front for example.

Recently, the Heidenau K34 also became available in 4.00-18, making it a good alternative for 18" rear wheels as well. So now 3.25-19 or 3.50-19 front combined with 4.00-18 rear is possible, as well as 4.00-18 front and rear, for those who have 18" front rims.

I have used these tyres in 3.25-18 on a Suzuki GN125 "Tracker" I built for my son a while back. That's my only experience with these so far, and they handled fine on that little bike!

Here is the link to the factory webpage:
