martyd Posted January 17, 2010 Report Share Posted January 17, 2010 Have been running one of the newer Michelin tube type tyres I think they are crossply construction Been out three times and 2 Nip punctures so not a good ratio Running 6 psi and its on a B40 I also have the same tyre on a Tlr 250 and it seems ok Could it be a combination of heavy(ish)bike and softer sidewalls? Anyone else have the same probs? Marty D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
b40rt Posted January 17, 2010 Report Share Posted January 17, 2010 Generally run 5psi on my B40, also with mitch tube, usually my own fault when I get a pinch puncture. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
martyd Posted January 17, 2010 Author Report Share Posted January 17, 2010 What do you mean usually your own fault when you get a pinch puncture? Do you double tube?? Marty Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pete_scorpa3 Posted January 17, 2010 Report Share Posted January 17, 2010 I've been lucky so far using those on my DRZ400 for LDT's. I use 5psi on muddy events or 7 if we are on rocks like in the Wyegate. I have a good quality security clamp and an extra thick tube.

b40rt Posted January 17, 2010 Report Share Posted January 17, 2010 "My own fault" - trying to keep up with someone faster. Have never even tried double tubing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
