Dunlop K70 Tyres

Dunlop K70 Motorcycle Tyres

The Dunlop K70 is one of the most recognisable classic motorcycle tyres ever produced, a design that defined everyday riding throughout the 1960s and 1970s. With its distinctive block-pattern tread and traditional profile, the K70 delivers the authentic look and feel that owners of British and early Japanese classics expect. For riders seeking a tyre that preserves period correctness while offering the reassurance of modern manufacture, the Dunlop K70 remains a benchmark choice.

Originally introduced as a universal pattern tyre suitable for both front and rear fitment, the K70 became a familiar sight on machines from Triumph, BSA, Norton, Ariel, and Matchless, as well as early Japanese models from Honda, Yamaha, Suzuki, and Kawasaki. Its tread design and rounded profile suit the handling characteristics of these bikes perfectly, providing predictable steering, stable cornering, and a comfortable ride. Whether fitted to a Triumph Bonneville, a BSA A65, a Norton Commando, or a Honda CB350, the K70 helps maintain the correct stance and road manners these machines were built around.

Dunlop continues to manufacture the K70 using modern materials and quality control processes, ensuring consistency and durability while preserving the tyre’s unmistakable vintage appearance. Available in a wide range of popular classic sizes, it is suitable for everything from light weight singles to larger 650cc and 750cc twins. Its tall sidewall and traditional construction make it especially popular for riders who want their classic to feel “right” on the road, whether used for weekend rides, club events, or faithful restorations.
