vasey15 Posted April 11, 2010 Report Share Posted April 11, 2010 What rubber does everyone recomend on here?? Ive just worn out a michelin x11, it only lasted about 6 trials. Any long lasting rubbers? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tt5th Posted April 11, 2010 Report Share Posted April 11, 2010 A Mitas will last forever. Mainly because you'll hate it and give up riding but it will last..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pete_scorpa3 Posted April 11, 2010 Report Share Posted April 11, 2010 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! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the addict Posted April 11, 2010 Report Share Posted April 11, 2010 (edited) 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.

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!
