Have been running one of the newer Michelin tube type tyres
I think they are crossply construction
Been out three times and 2 Nip punctures so not a good ratio
Running 6 psi and its on a B40
I also have the same tyre on a Tlr 250 and it seems ok
Could it be a combination of heavy(ish)bike and softer sidewalls?
Anyone else have the same probs?

Generally run 5psi on my B40, also with mitch tube, usually my own fault when I get a pinch puncture.
Cleaning a section is like setting fire to Joanna Lumleys shoes.

What do you mean usually your own fault when you get a pinch puncture?
Do you double tube??

I've been lucky so far using those on my DRZ400 for LDT's. I use 5psi on muddy events or 7 if we are on rocks like in the Wyegate. I have a good quality security clamp and an extra thick tube.

"My own fault" - trying to keep up with someone faster.
Have never even tried double tubing.
