Alot of people swear by the michelin tyres

[ZIPPY]

I prefer Dunlops myself.

Michelins are good.

[totalshell]

the honest truth from is i've never been able to tell what brands on the bike without looking so as there all much the same price buy what you can as cheap as you can.

Stick to the Dunlop, IRC & Michelin, any of the other cheaper tyres are cheap for a reason, normally have sidewalls suited to tractors & other heavy machinery like 4RTs

Sound advice,

Not much difference between the top three and certainly good enough for the worlds best riders, they have influence on the design. I go with the Michelin X11.
The new X'lite Mich tyre is a bit thinner in the carcase around the centre tread, so it's lighter in weight and the most expensive but probably more prone to punctures.

Always found the Irc gripped better on my Sherco than the Michelin.

cheers for the replys guys think im gonna go for the Michelin x11 for the extra £7 over the IRC tyre
