I think its not worth the risk on rocks for sake of a few grams unless you are an Expert. I could not tell if one was better as i think its mainly about the nobble edge and tyre pressure. IRC was the best tyre for me but as said no good on newer rims shame. Worst tyre VEE rubber entered Scott on one hard work came to mind. ive never split an x light so much i couldnt turd it
August 26, 20197 yr What year did the rims change on the gassers? I have just bought a 2011for playing about on and need a rear tyre dont want to get a irc if they not seal, i looked at a mitas but after reading on here i probably not bother

In the off road world, that's a significant savings with the added traction, I would see the value provided here... But I don't know jack when it comes to trials...

December 6, 20196 yr Used them for last18 months with no problems but I don't throw it up steps that big.Defineitlythe best mud tyre
December 6, 20196 yr Found IRC gripped well when you got them spinning but find the xlite very consistent on all conditions on the 4rt on steady sections and a good degree of throttle control. x lite my choice of tyre having ridden. Itc an std mich
