November 12, 200619 yr Carl, well worth trying the Pirelli first mate, if its kept its compound qualities it should work well in the ice. Cant remember the Dunlop though? saying that cant even having much interest in the tyres as a teen, just got on the bike and rode it.
November 12, 200619 yr 10 /15 years ago Pirellis were the ones to use if there was snow on the ground. I don't think it was as good if just pureley cold. I am pretty sure IRC are the ones. I have posted this info before - Speaking to Mick Andrews whilst practising near his house one winter he asked how my Michelin was gripping. His comment was that the Michelin rubber goes hard in the cold but the IRC compound is a lot softer so stays supple in the cold weather. But IRC in the warmth of spain he said you had to run at least 5 - 7 psi in it as it was so soft. Seems like you need to give an IRC a try!
November 13, 200619 yr I had a mitas tyre on my last bike. when I bought it I asked asked about the brand and I was told that they were made in the continental tyres factory in czech republic.
