phb Posted December 29, 2006 Report Share Posted December 29, 2006 DEPENDS ON WHAT TERRAIN YOU USUALLY RIDE ON IF ITS ROCKS I WOULD USE MICHELIN BUT MUD MAINLY IT WOULD BE A IRC IM TRYING A DUNLOP AT MOMENT AND THIS SEEMS PRETTY GOOD SO FAR Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

essex rider Posted December 29, 2006 Report Share Posted December 29, 2006 You missed vee rubber out........... These are good and cheap as well. The tread is very soft so probably wont last long but grips soooo well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stuessenhigh Posted December 29, 2006 Report Share Posted December 29, 2006 OK...so Im not a great rider, but personally, I dont notice ANY improvement in my MUD riding when I use an IRC...I'm crap in mud on both Michelins AND IRC's. Now I await a barrage of adverse opinions, since I know everyone says IRC is better in the mud.....but there we go..just thought Id get off the fence for a mo., and make life more interesting Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jetset Posted December 29, 2006 Report Share Posted December 29, 2006 :agree: Like alot of equipment it probably depends on the level you are at when it comes to noticing the difference. If the average rider can really tell between the different makes then more power to them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

axulsuv Posted December 30, 2006 Report Share Posted December 30, 2006 (edited) Who and or what is VEE RUBBER ! Sounds like something a old girlfreind shouted once !!!! Glenn And I'm like stu I can't tell either and I've never had the chance to load up a bunch of rims and try them back to back under the same conditions !!!! If you can't do that , how do you really know ? Edited December 30, 2006 by axulsuv Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
telecat Posted December 30, 2006 Report Share Posted December 30, 2006 NYL likes the IRC and round here we get rocks. We do know somebody who had trouble with Vee Rubber's, He couldn't get it to stay on the rim. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
