I ordered a Heidenau K39 several months ago ... delay, delay, then they shipped the wrong tire, and now the distributor is out of stock. :angry:

They expect more in “late July”.

I’d like this tire; anyone have a source?

If not, where can I get a suitable 2.75-18 tire so I can ride this bike??

Thanks!
Thomas
 
Internet searches for in stock 2.75-18 tires is coming up dry. Looking for the K39 size only gives me this one but I would call to confirm before ordering.

I do know that shipping out of Europe, specifically Germany, has been experiencing large delays and John orders container loads at a time so he's relying on the ships.

No info whether it’s in stock on the first page for Midwest Traction.

https://www.amazon.com/Tire-2-75-Fr...2.75-18+motorcycle+tire&qid=1625278593&sr=8-5

Amazon says in stock.
Only thing I found for K39 is eBay shipping from Germany.

That’s all I could find. Bummer, I know… good luck.

Remember my experience with Midwest Traction and Heidenaus... they aren't likely to have it.
 
Over here in the UK, 2.75 x 18 tyres are widely available, Michelin, Dunlop, Metzler, etc etc.

Maybe we still have lots of smaller bikes over here in the UK and Europe ?

Yeah, these are the guys I have it on order from. They got me the other 3 tires, but this one they dropped the ball on...

I didn’t think to check; I remember the ordeal, I didn’t remember the name. Thanks.

They readily admitted - but only after my order and their failure to have either tire in stock - that they list the tires even though they know they're not available right now.
 
Alan-

Thanks for the info / link. I came across the treatland site while searching, but wasn’t sure - the site just looks fishy. Have you ordered from them before?

I also wonder if they pull the same “in stock” shenanigans as everyone else with those German tires...
 
I have not ordered from them but know others who have had good dealings this spring.

It's an old site but it works so why rewrite the wheel?
 
Just get a metric sized 80/90x18 (80mm wide with 90% aspect ratio)
When fitted it will be narrower than 80mm (3.15") unless you changed to wider, non standard rims?
I've never seen a 70/90x18 or 70/80x18 advertised anywhere (2.75x25.4) and 80mm is a little bit difficult to get but Michelin, Pirelli, and Metzeler list them. I think some of the cheaper brands also do 80/90x18 but it's been 10+ years since I looked
 
Thanks guys. I don’t have a specific issue with the old school web site, just that it looks sketchy when the site is unfamiliar to me...
