GotGas Posted 16 hours ago Report Share Posted 16 hours ago Time for a new rear tyre. I got to see side by side the Michelin X11, IRC, and kenda Ibex and the ibex was definitely a nice gummy compound, softer than the other two. I assumed the downside of them must be the wear rate but talking with the vendor and googling it doesn't appear to be the case (weirdly the opposite in fact). There is a suggestion the ibex side wall may be slightly stiffer than a x-light but that's all. I can't really seem to find a negative thing about them. So why would I buy a £140 tyre when an ibex is half that? Looking for input from anyone with firsthand experience with them... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tr1AL Posted 11 hours ago Report Share Posted 11 hours ago Michelin , Dunlop D803 GP , IRC Rear . Anything else is not a serious tire/tyre for the sport at this present time Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not everyone is wanting to go win their local trial, and I guarantee if I put the Kenda on I would still beat 90% of the riders using michelins. FYI, I haven't even tried one yet, but I know just by looking at it, its a decent tire Edited 54 minutes ago by faussy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
