OVERVIEW
The Dunlop K180 is a rear bias-ply motorcycle tire engineered specifically for vintage-style and custom scooters, delivering reliable street traction with a classic blackwall aesthetic.
Designed as a tube-type component, its 130/90-10 footprint matches legacy rim standards while providing consistent stability for everyday commuting and leisure riding on small-diameter wheels.
ENGINEERING & PERFORMANCE
Constructed with a reinforced bias carcass, this rear tire maintains geometric integrity and predictable handling during cornering loads on paved surfaces.
A modern rubber compound works alongside the traditional bias architecture to deliver steady friction across varying pavement temperatures without relying on tubeless valve systems.
The blackwall sidewall and retro-profile tread minimize rim scraping risk while supporting straightforward maintenance routines tailored to older frame geometries.

WHY RIDERS CHOOSE THIS
Riders select the K180 because it balances period-correct styling with modern compound engineering, preserving authentic blackwall lines without sacrificing contemporary street reliability.
The bias-ply construction and tube-type design map directly to older frame geometries, delivering predictable roll resistance and stable handling that simplifies routine maintenance.
Builders appreciate the consistent grip profile that performs reliably across urban commuting and weekend rides, making this tire a practical replacement for original equipment setups on classic small-diameter wheels.
