Hi All,
Wonder if anyone can help please?
I'm trying to buy the all weather k58's for my px.

There are a couple of 3.5 x 10s for sale and i'm not sure which are the correct ones to buy as they say 59TT J RF and TL
I don't know what these mean (tubed / tubeless?) so need to know before i buy two to make sure i buy the right tyres.
I think the correct ones to buy are the TT
I have standard px tubed rims and have used 59L conti classics for the past few years
Any help very much appreciated as usual

there all tubeless but can be used with tubes .theres basically 4 types of k58 , sport which are soft an more for dry , race (rsc) which are super soft n warm up quick but wear fast , the snowtext for winter/sub zero ,an are a legal requirement in germany ,an if used in more than 5degs literally melt n wear real fast .
an the ordinary k58 59j tl , the tl/tt are the softer sport tyres an will wear quite fast in road use . H

if its got wheels n makes a noise I wanna play with it, skateboards included coz "skate-punks rule",

thanks for that H, still can't make up my mind even with that info...do you have any idea the rough mileage i would get out of the tt then?
also, i'm taking it that the tt's all weather road tyres then?
maybe even stick with the conti as im happy with the mileage
Thanks for the help
