November 20, 200916 yr I ran the Mitas on a 250 tlr thought it was hard but griped Real well in all conditions but as said dont think it would be the job for a new bike But in saying that i am running a pair of Michelins on both Tlr and B40 Marty D
December 9, 200916 yr Author Third Trial on Sunday with the IRC rear. Very slippy sections due to a torrential downpour just before the start (my worst nightmare) I have to admit I cant ever remember a time on the Mont when I would'nt have been well worried about getting grip at a trial like this. Tyre was brilliant all day in many types of conditions, did'nt even think about a grip problem at all, but Iam now getting front grip problems for some reason? maybe its just because the rear is so good the front feels bad. Not had a go on the rocks yet but hopefully if Saturdays work goes well I might have a chance at a try at ESTC. Edited December 9, 200916 yr by The Addict
December 9, 200916 yr I definately percieve the IRC's to be an advantage, I wouldn't use anything else on the Scorpa, but for LDT's I use Michelins on the 400, IRC's just wear out too quickly.

January 11, 201016 yr I did a trials school at Earl Shilton on Saturday in the snow and found out something quite interesting. There was an 09 Evo 250, an '10 Gasser 250 and an 09 Sherco 290. The Evo had a brand new IRC on, The Gasser a brand new michelin x11 and the Sherco had a newish michelin x11. The Evo by a long long way would barely spin on the section I layed out. The Sherco was also very good but the Gasser was awful. It was nothing to do with how the bikes were set up either cos they all felt pretty neutral but The Evo/IRC combo was very very good!
January 11, 201016 yr i have to admit i stuggelled in the deep snow in kent with an X11 (on a gas gas 200), my old man says he always had more luck with the pirelli in the snow - but hey it was great fun!
