Has any one used Dunlop Gold Seal K70
On a Vin as I have been given a pair of nearly new ones.

Old style tyre. Nothing really wrong with them as long as you do not do any spirited riding. I used them back in the 1970s on some bikes but then went to K81 TT100s. They are popular with sidecar riders and those wanting a traditional look for their bike. Personally I would not buy them.

I use 'em, got one on the back of the A. Great tire and doesn't wear square like an AVON.

If it's a Japanese Dunlop I would avoid it.I had one that wore out very rapidly.

I found that K70 gave the best grip on foul road conditions, ice, snow etc. Probably not relevant in this day and age. Cheers, Stu.

I used K70s extensively in the past. Even on track days - along with ribbed front. Slow to wear, easy to "feel" and never gave me cause for concern. The I went to TT100s - but they wore out way to quickly for me - so I went back to K70s.
