Ok so the tyres now need replacing,
what is the best tyre to buy that is tough?
i curently have the michelen x11 that the bike came with and they have split alot in a short time. im only a novice rider so light thin tyres dont really matter.

Thanks
Ben

Use the cheapest out of X11, IRC, or dunlops
as you can get punctures in every tyre. as
i found out after wrecking a 8 week old
xlite in a sharp rockstep 4 punctures in

even if flat but they are a bitch to change

Dont buy IRC as they have changed recently and have 4mm larger diameter, comparing old IRC with new replacement one. My friend had one on his GasGas 2010 model and it constantly let air out when riding with impact to the rear. The shop took it back and the X11 replacement was no issue.

Go with X11 as grip is key to the sport.
