Continental 120/70ZR17 TKC70 TL F 58W

The Continental TKC 70 sits between the knobby TKC 80 Twinduro and Continental's road-biased ContiTrailAttack range, giving adventure riders a tyre that behaves like a sports-touring tyre on sealed roads while still handling gravel and light to medium off-road work.

This 120/70ZR17 58W tubeless front fitment suits larger-capacity adventure and adventure-touring machines running a 17-inch front wheel. The uniquely arranged tread blocks keep road manners quiet and stable, while aggressive siping and self-cleaning grooves maintain bite in the wet and on loose surfaces.

Continental's ZeroDegree steel-belt construction, MultiGrip compound curing and RainGrip silica compound combine for high-speed stability, fast warm-up and even wear on long asphalt stints. Pair it with a TKC 70 rear for balanced touring, or a TKC 70 Rocks rear for a more off-road-biased set-up.

Have the tyre fitted and balanced by a qualified motorcycle tyre technician; tubeless fitment requires an undamaged, corrosion-free rim and a new valve.
Check that the size and load/speed rating (120/70ZR17 58W) match your motorcycle manufacturer's recommended fitment before ordering, and follow the rotation direction marked on the sidewall.
The TractionSkin surface means little to no traditional scrubbing-in is needed, but still ride conservatively for the first few kilometres until the tyre reaches normal operating temperature and the full contact patch is in use.
Check inflation pressure when the tyre is cold and set it to the pressure specified on your motorcycle's placard or in the owner's manual; recheck before long rides and after luggage or pillion loading changes.
If you drop pressures for off-road sections, only do so within your motorcycle manufacturer's guidance and reinflate before returning to sealed roads and higher speeds.
Inspect regularly for cuts, bulges, embedded stones or nails and uneven wear, and replace the tyre if the tread reaches the wear indicators or the casing is damaged.
Do not exceed the load or speed capability of the tyre, and avoid repairing a tubeless tyre with plug kits as a permanent fix — have any puncture assessed professionally.
Clean with mild soapy water and a soft brush; keep tyre dressings, solvents, petrol and silicone-based shine products off the tread and sidewalls.
Store spare tyres upright in a cool, dry, dark place away from direct sunlight, ozone sources such as electric motors, and hydrocarbons.
