I was just about to text you and say a thread had just started about Serrao tyres on here & I noticed it was you! Busy in the N sea then?

I was running a tkc80 on the front and a heidenau k60 on the rear which was a good combo. I have just fitted a mitas E09 on the rear and initial impressions are quite good but I have not tried it of road yet.

Thanks guys - I'll keep looking - when I've been searching websites with the follwoing sizes - I've struggled to find stuff...

Front: 90/90 R21 54S
Rear: 130/80 R17 65S


I've seen M&P do the TKC80's but with a subtly different tyre description -

Rear: 130/80T17 TKC80 T/L Rear OR 130/80S17 TKC80 T/T

Front: 90/90S21 TKC80 T/L OR 90/90T21 TKC80 Twinduro T/L

Will either of these fit the bike? And whats the T/T - T/L about?

aha! TT = requires inner tube - and TL = no inner tube.

Now to work out if an S or T rating in front of the rim size matters...?

I have a set from Oponeo in France (UK site available) for my Dakar which has the same rim as the Sertao.

Price includes delivery in France.

Thanks Bud - I've found a UK company that does them in my size now -

the last thing I'm trying to figure out the difference between getting them with or without inner tubes?

Is it a preference thing - of so, whats the benefits?

Or is it dictated by the wheel?

:)
