hey it's tire time i know the michelins are great but is there any other tire worth looking at? at my small town dealer there isn't much selection but there must be more out there?

try IRC great if slippy conditions or Dunlops seem quite popular now

i think Scorpa fit them as standard

i think that michelin are the best all round tyre, they seem to last quite along time and are good for grip aswell on rocks and in mud etc

there was a big topic on tyres not so long ago....use the search thingy.I think the overall outcome was that dunlops are good bt i prefer michelins il have a look for the topic

Try and get a go on something with different tyres, most of the guys at the trials will let you test their bike if you tell them what it's for.

My GasGas had a Dunlop on the rear, it didn't suit me, I had no confidnce in it and I wasn't happy untill I fitted a Michelin, which in my opinion had loads more grip! Dunlops are cheaper though.

I have heard good reports about the IRC's but I have never seen one over here (Ireland).

I originally had a dunlop d801 but it never hooked up.

I have been riding mich x11 for the past couple of years but this year i found a deals on

dunlop 803's in ohio. 72 bucks! I have already sliced one on glass but I ride in detroit so

i get what i ask for.

so far the d803 is lasting.

It two two events for my roommates d803 to loose its nipples. He rides beginner novice on an 02 315.

I hope i never loose my nipples.... hahahahaha
