With the HEIDENAU K58 Snowtex winter tyre, the German manufacturer has secured its reputation as a supplier of high quality products for the scooter scene.

The HEIDENAUK58 Snowtex is a classic among winter tyres. At SIP Scootershop, customers keep telling us about their great experiences using this tyre. There are many reasons why.

• M+S marking
• Strong traction in bad conditions
• Special rubber compound for low temperatures

The HEIDENAU K58 Snowtex has been a decent winter tyre for over 20 years. The familiar K58 tread pattern has been modified with a special compound for the colder time of year. This means that the HEIDENAU K58 Snowtex has a great grip on wet, slushy or snowy roads. With this “Made in Germany” tyre, all the experience of the manufacturer has flowed into the production. It can confidently be described as being a masterpiece. The special feature of the Snowtex tyre is the dual design of its tread, which consists of a bottom plate with normal compound and a duplex plate with fibre-reinforced protector rubber. The high-quality silica rubber compound that this contains is designed for low temperatures. It achieves a very high degree of cold elasticity, which provides the necessary traction on wet and slushy road surfaces. The incorporated fabric fibres also create a rough surface structure – which further increases the grip on slippery roads.

Modified

The tread of the HEIDENAU K58 is also available in roughened form ex-works upon request. This results in an even better grip when starting a journey, and the tyre doesn’t have to be run in for a long time.

Conclusion: The experts agree – the HEIDENAU K58 Snowtex is one of the best and safest winter tyres which is available for scooters.

Feedback from the scene

»having ridden scooters for 35+ yrs, tried many tyres, these babys are brilliant, on ice /snow they are lifesavers, in the summer on dry roads they are great, thought the summer conditions would wear them out fast, but no, they are exceptional tyres all year round, they instill confidence and i love them!«
