zippy Posted June 12, 2010 Report Share Posted June 12, 2010 I prefer Dunlops myself. Michelins are good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
totalshell Posted June 12, 2010 Report Share Posted June 12, 2010 the honest truth from is i've never been able to tell what brands on the bike without looking so as there all much the same price buy what you can as cheap as you can.

tony27 Posted June 13, 2010 Report Share Posted June 13, 2010 Stick to the Dunlop, IRC & Michelin, any of the other cheaper tyres are cheap for a reason, normally have sidewalls suited to tractors & other heavy machinery like 4RTs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
richt Posted June 13, 2010 Report Share Posted June 13, 2010 Sound advice, Stick to the Dunlop, IRC & Michelin, any of the other cheaper tyres are cheap for a reason, normally have sidewalls suited to tractors & other heavy machinery like 4RTs Not much difference between the top three and certainly good enough for the worlds best riders, they have influence on the design. I go with the Michelin X11. The new X'lite Mich tyre is a bit thinner in the carcase around the centre tread, so it's lighter in weight and the most expensive but probably more prone to punctures.

john.b Posted June 13, 2010 Report Share Posted June 13, 2010 Always found the Irc gripped better on my Sherco than the Michelin. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
