September 8, 20205 yr The black ones....made of a rubbery substance. Think you’ll find its a toss up between Michelin or IRC each to their own.
September 8, 20205 yr In order of preference not value/cost. Michelin X11 Dunlop 803gp Michelin X lite I actually like the X lite just a bit more when grip is the primary consideration but I find I get flats on sharp stuff or when puncture weeds (goat heads) are around and the Dunlop's do better against them than the X lite. Haven't tried the IRC's so can't comment on them. Edited September 8, 20205 yr by jonnyc21
September 9, 20205 yr Many have had issues trying to keep air in the tire on the newer flanged rear rims with the less popular brands...stick with Michelin or Dunlop on newer bikes
September 9, 20205 yr The best ones, are the ones I get for free failing that, Michelin's and new type Dunlop's work well

September 9, 20205 yr if you are riding a lot on mud (we do down here) then its proably like a 50:50 split IRC to michelin (Dunlop aren't really seen much down here) if you are on rock (i infer you are) then it seams to be a split between Dunlop and Michelin the x-llight save weight but for most riders thats not an issue if you are really tight then the pirelli is cheaper (much more hard wearing for road work) and then there are cheaper ones still (vee rubber, cheng shing, etc, etc)
September 9, 20205 yr I have one to give away, so it's free. I can assure you it's not the best one. Guy
