Author Message   Advoutlander Posted on Sunday, March 31, 2013 - 02:18 pm:        I want to buy the tkc80s for my uly. I know the tire size is 120 70 17 and 180 55 17. However looking at these on ebay I see a 120/70z/17 and 120/70Q17 TL. Which one do I need? Also the rear 180/55B17 or 180/55Q17 TL?   Bernhardgrave Posted on Sunday, March 31, 2013 - 07:33 pm:        The ebay listing just jumbled the markings sounds like because Continental only offers in one of each size, both are bias-belted (the B), and both are only Q speed rated (100mph). http://www.conti-online.com/generator/www/de/en/co ntinental/motorcycle/themes/motorcycletires/enduro /tkc_80/tkc_80_en.html check the photos to make sure they didn't jumble the tire size too!   Advoutlander Posted on Sunday, March 31, 2013 - 11:30 pm:        Is there a tubeless and non tubeless?   Bernhardgrave Posted on Monday, April 01, 2013 - 01:25 pm:        no, just tubeless. There is nothing wrong with running a tube in a tubeless tire, if that is what you are asking, plenty of OEMs do it. Tire makers will tell you to consider it the next lower speed rating if you do, because of heat build up. But not really an issue for practical purposes.
