motovita Posted August 22, 2015 Report Share Posted August 22, 2015 I've never heard anyone say "This Michelin works almost as good as a Dunlop", but I've heard that statement reversed many times. What does that tell you? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michael_t Posted August 22, 2015 Report Share Posted August 22, 2015 I really think it is one of those things that it is worth spending a little extra on and if you are a casual driver it will last. I am way too casual but I sold my 2002 TXT200 this year and it still had the original Michelins on it (not X-lite) . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fivebrick Posted August 22, 2015 Report Share Posted August 22, 2015 The Michelins are just a bit better. Spend the extra quid and get em. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lineaway Posted August 23, 2015 Report Share Posted August 23, 2015 I`d try the new Dunlop GP. I`ve used the old Dunlop`s for years. (But I ride large grippy rocks!) Team Sherco USA started using the new Dunlops this year with good results. Best deal I`ve found is here. https://www.rockymountainatvmc.com/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
