April 11, 201016 yr What rubber does everyone recomend on here?? Ive just worn out a michelin x11, it only lasted about 6 trials. Any long lasting rubbers?
April 11, 201016 yr A Mitas will last forever. Mainly because you'll hate it and give up riding but it will last.....
April 11, 201016 yr I've got through a Michelin in six trials too. Six long distance trials on my DRZ400 that is. I guess that any of the top brands will wear out in a similar time, an IRC will last even less. You must do some serious events, I get 20 trials out of a rear on my Scorpa.... then tuirn it round for the rest of the year!
April 11, 201016 yr Longer lasting usually means less grip, you need good grip - best you can get - it costs. A set of Dunlop Slicks cost over 350 quid and are shagged in 40 miles on the track, yes theres cheaper and longer lasting options but less grip. Edited April 11, 201016 yr by The Addict

Yes, back in the day we'd only get 20 laps at Mallory out of the D364 and D207's you couldn't have paid me to use another tyre with less grip, no matter how long it lasted!
April 11, 201016 yr Yes, back in the day we'd only get 20 laps at Mallory out of the D364 and D207's memorys of tyres gone by, mainly i remember the front end chatter!
