Just checking what tyres should be fitted as standard to my 500 Bullet trials 2008 model. Looking at pictures of others I think they should be Continental TKC 80 is this correct and if so what size front and rear?
Thanks.

Hi MARTY ------------ I had a Bullet Trials model fitted with CONTI "Tower-Block" original equipment tyres and found them to be a complete liability as I spent most of my time on tarmac---of varying types. However, if you really are going to take yours "off-road" or TRAIL ( not TRIALS ) riding then they might just be OK. In the meantime take a look at this (ignore the techno music and just go with the ride !!)--------------

Hi MARTY --------- it was a "Watsonian" conversion of a Bullet 65 so it would have had the standard road-going wheels and rims. I can't remember the actual sizes now but I did fit a pair of Dunlpo K70's just as soon as possible.
