January 30, 200620 yr Can anyone recomend which tyres works well on Pre 65 and should they be used with a tube or tubless
January 30, 200620 yr Michelin or IRC would seem to be the most popular. Some p65 clubs have rules about tubeless tyres and rims though that you should bear in mind.. http://yorksclassictrials.co.uk/club_rules.htm http://www.ssdt.org/sitebody/modules/Uploa...5%20Entries.pdf others take a different view or no view at all http://www.redroseclassictrials.org.uk/regulations.html thinking about it though is there a technical advantage to tubeless tyres.??

January 31, 200620 yr Michelin every time. they're not the best and the most expensive for no reason. Have tried dunlop once on a bike i bought. that was ok but let you down in the mud a bit. Best way to test a trials tyre is get a small piece of glass or perspex and push it onto the tread of the tyre. most tyres knobbles close up except on the michelin and thats what you need in the mud.
January 31, 200620 yr I have a starting point of 6 in the front and 4 in the back and work up or down to suit, DONT FORGET TO PUT RIMLOCKS ON! I've only ever not fitted them once and the valve pulled out on the 5th section of a road trial and the spare tube was back on the car seat.. lessons learnt the hard way are hard to forget Edited January 31, 200620 yr by totalshell
February 1, 200620 yr if you're going for michelin's make sure they're tube type ones. the tubeless have a softer compound which clings to rocks better. but the wear faster that tubed ones.
February 1, 200620 yr Author If there are two types of Michelin's (tube and tubeless ) do you have part numbers or can you tell me how to tell the difference
