How much do tyres for a KTM 1290 Super Adventure cost?+
120/70-19 fronts start at R1 680 and 170/60-17 rears start at R2 085, per tyre in stock today. The cheapest front and rear together cost R3 765. The cheapest matching pair of one tyre model is the Continental TKC 80 at R4 470. Fitting is usually extra. Prices change weekly.
Can I fit a different tyre size on my KTM 1290 Super Adventure?+
Stick to the sizes the manufacturer approves for your bike and wheels. A different width or profile changes how the bike steers and leans, and can upset the ABS and traction control. Never mix radial and bias-ply tyres unless the manufacturer allows it.
Should I replace both KTM 1290 Super Adventure tyres at the same time?+
Not always. Rear tyres usually wear out before fronts, so many riders replace the rear more often. If you replace only one, fit the same tyre model as the other end so the pair is designed to work together.
