Peter Barker suggested to me using a 3.60 19" front and a 4.10 19" TT 100 rear, they are H rated (210 km/h).
before ordering them I somehow had the feeling I should ask the German MOT ( TÜV) and guess what.?
my shadow has 200kph in its documents and by German law you need a 10% safety gap, which means the tires need to be rated at 220 kph.
as this rating does not exist I need to buy V-rated tires. the only ones available in suitable size are the AM 26 as mentioned before.
it means should I have a tire problem somewhere anf i could get a TT 100 from a dealer to get me going again, I am loosing my insurance and it is an offence which will add 4 point on my license plus 120 Euros.
thank you Mrs Merkel
P.S. this write up contains a bit of sarcasm
An example of the potential to be caught out by bureaucracy and obscure laws that keep getting foisted on to the motorist.
It seems ironic that a tyre (the Dunlop K81) that was renamed the TT100 in honour of Malcolm Uphill using them to do a 100 mph lap in the Isle of Man is not considered "fast enough" to be used on a Vincent in Germany.
God save us from the politicians!
