It ships in <strong>two 18-inch rear sizes<\/strong> (140\/80R18 and 150\/70R18) on a reinforced radial carcass with a dual, silica-enriched compound, 3D-stepped siping and self-cleaning shoulders. Factory cold pressure is <strong>32\u201334 psi on the road for 140\/80R18<\/strong> und <strong>34\u201336 psi for 150\/70R18<\/strong>, dropping to 28\u201332 psi on trail, with an H speed rating (210 km\/h).<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<blockquote>\n<p><strong>Last updated:<\/strong> November 11, 2026. Written and reviewed by the KingTyre technical team. Sizes, construction, pressures and load indices are taken from the current KingTyre K61 product specification; the tread-geometry figures are KingTyre's published design specifications.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<hr \/>\n<h2>What 40\/60 dual sport tires are<\/h2>\n<p><strong>40\/60 dual sport tires are built with roughly 60% of the tread working on sealed road and 40% working off it.<\/strong> The label describes how the pattern is allocated, not how your mileage splits. A 40\/60 tyre keeps a larger, more continuous centre band than a 50\/50 design, so it tracks straighter and wears more evenly at highway speed, while retaining enough shoulder block and void for gravel, hardpack and maintained fire roads.<\/p>\n<p>This is the compromise that suits a specific rider very well: someone whose week is mostly paved \u2014 commuting, touring, a long highway run to the trailhead \u2014 who still wants a tyre that will hold its line on the gravel section when the weekend arrives. It is the road-weighted end of the dual sport family, sitting between the 50\/50 K60 and the almost-entirely-on-road K67.<\/p>\n<p>KingTyre builds the dual sport range as four distinct splits, and this is the only one of the four where the off-road share is smaller than the on-road share:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>40\/60 (K61)<\/strong> \u2014 road-weighted. The \"ride to the trail, then ride the trail\" tyre.<\/li>\n<li><strong>50\/50 (K60)<\/strong> \u2014 even split. The do-anything adventure tyre.<\/li>\n<li><strong>80\/20 (K66)<\/strong> \u2014 off-road weighted. The classic ADV trail tyre.<\/li>\n<li><strong>90\/10 (K67)<\/strong> \u2014 almost entirely road.

Pressure rises with heat, so a gauge reading taken immediately after a highway run will always be higher than the placard value.<\/li>\n<li><strong>The trail figures are a reduction, not a recommendation.<\/strong> KingTyre's own guidance for a mixed day is to start at the road pressure and drop 2\u20134 psi only if an extended dirt section is planned \u2014 then watch heat and rim clearance. The published trail ranges are 28\u201330 psi for the 140\/80R18 and 30\u201332 psi for the 150\/70R18.<\/li>\n<li><strong>The placard wins.<\/strong> If your motorcycle's tyre placard specifies a different pressure, follow the placard. These figures describe the tyre, not the bike.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>On speed rating, the H marking is a homologation limit of 210 km\/h, not a recommendation to ride at 210 km\/h. On load index, KingTyre publishes a range per size \u2014 70\u201373 for the 140\/80R18 and 69\u201375 for the 150\/70R18 \u2014 because the exact rating depends on the specific construction built for a rim width; the number moulded into your tyre is the one that counts.

Its pattern is weighted 60% toward sealed-road use and 40% toward off-road use, and it is supplied in 140\/80R18 and 150\/70R18 as a reinforced radial with a dual, silica-enriched compound, 3D-stepped siping and self-cleaning shoulders.<\/p>\n<h3>What sizes does the K61 come in?<\/h3>\n<p>Two sizes are published: 140\/80R18 and 150\/70R18. Both are 18-inch rear sizes \u2014 they are alternatives for the same wheel position, not a matched front-and-rear set.<\/p>\n<h3>What pressure should I run on a K61?<\/h3>\n<p>For road use, 32\u201334 psi cold on the 140\/80R18 and 34\u201336 psi cold on the 150\/70R18. For sustained trail use, 28\u201330 psi and 30\u201332 psi respectively. If your motorcycle's tyre placard specifies a different pressure, follow the placard instead.<\/p>\n<h3>Is the K61 a full off-road tire?<\/h3>\n<p>No, and it is not designed to be one. The K61 is a road-weighted dual sport tyre for riders who are on tarmac most of the week but want competent gravel performance. For technical trail riding, the 80\/20 K66 or the K82 and K81\/K83 trail range are the correct specifications.<\/p>\n<h3>How does the K61 compare with the K60?<\/h3>\n<p>The K60 is a 50\/50 pattern with a larger off-road share, published in 90\/90R21, 110\/80R19, 150\/70R17 and 150\/70R18. Choose the K61 when your riding is mostly road, and the K60 when the gravel and trail time is roughly equal to the highway time.<\/p>\n<h3>Is the K61 noisy on long highway rides?<\/h3>\n<p>The staggered pitch sequencing is designed to break up the harmonics that normally build up in a block pattern, so the K61 is quieter on sealed road than a block-heavy 50\/50 or 80\/20 tyre. It is still not as quiet as the 90\/10 K67.<\/p>\n<h3>Does the K61 work in the rain?<\/h3>\n<p>Yes. The silica-enriched compound and 3D-stepped siping are built to limit tread squirm and improve wet braking, which is what makes the K61 usable year-round rather than only in dry conditions.<\/p>\n<h3>Can I tour with luggage on a K61?<\/h3>\n<p>Yes. The reinforced radial carcass and the H speed rating are rated for loaded touring, which is the use case the 40\/60 split is designed around.<\/p>\n<h3>Are tubes required for the K61?<\/h3>\n<p>No. The K61 radial is tubeless on compatible rims, and an inner tube can be used in a tube-type rim. Check the rim specification before fitting.<\/p>\n<h3>Where are KingTyre dual sport tires manufactured?<\/h3>\n<p>The K61 is manufactured at KingTyre's own factory in China, which operates high-tonnage automated hydraulic curing lines, four-component tread extrusion and end-to-end barcode traceability, holds ISO 9001 and DOT certification, and ships to more than 45 countries. It is the same production group that builds the KingTyre racing programme used in endurance competition.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p><script type=\"application\/ld+json\">{\n    \"@context\": \"https:\\\/\\\/schema.org\",\n    \"@type\": \"FAQPage\",\n    \"mainEntity\": [\n        {\n            \"@type\": \"Question\",\n            \"name\": \"What is the KingTyre K61?\",\n            \"acceptedAnswer\": {\n                \"@type\": \"Answer\",\n                \"text\": \"The KingTyre K61 is a 40\\\/60 dual sport (ADV) motorcycle tyre.
