The VTX1300 runs not so common tyre sizes and but you have plenty of choice, whether you want a tyre for Commuting or that touring trip to Europe.

Honda VTX1300 Stock Tyres
The VTX has been supplied with Dunlop F24 tyres and Dunlop K555 rear tyres as standard. They are still made today but not in these sizes. If your tyres are the original ones that came on the bike, it makes sense to change them as they will be over 10 years old. Most tyre manufacturers recommend you change your tyres every 10 years, as they will degrade even when not being used.

Are your tyre pressures letting you down?
We couldn’t find a tyre pressure gauge that was well-built, easy to get on-and-off the valve without pressure loss and could stand up to day-to-day abuse in our workshop. So we found a manufacturer to build one to our exacting standards.
We’re confident this is the best motorcycle pressure gauge out there. That’s why it comes with a 3-year, no-nonsense, money back guarantee.
Whether you want a digital tyre pressure gauge or a good old-fashioned analogue pressure gauge, we’ve got a gauge for you. Now you can quickly and easily check your pressures, to keep your bike handling well and to ensure you stay safe.
