what tyres you guys using,hav been using mitchelin comp 3 for a while,just wanted to know if you guys found anything better
I'm running the Motoz from Australia and love them. if not those I like a M59 Bridgestone front and Kenda Trackmaster rear. Deep woods riding.
Tires preference is a very personal choice and depends on many factors. Terrain, riding ability,type of bike, weather condition etc. Dunlop D756 seems to be a very popular off road tire. Motoz from Australia are sold in the States by Motosportz.(along with a lot of other goodie). And is fast becoming a #1 choice amount riders. Have not try them yet but would like to. I'm running a Maxxas M7311 Maxxcross SI Front (love that tire). and a Kenda K270 Dual Sport in the rear (Almost a trials tire) sidewall flex is a bit much on the dual tracks stuff and high speeds but predictable in tighter single track. These tires are on a TE510 that is 90% S/T stuff but every once in awhile I gotta hit the D/T and open her up.
I like the Dunlop D756 on the rear for it's versatility and wear. I switch the front out to match the particular terrain I'm riding. Right now I have a D773 on the front for soft/sand conditions.
The Maxxis SIs are probably the best value today. They work great in most conditions and are quite a bit cheaper than a Michelin or Dunlop (in Canada anyhow). If I am feeling rich, I will slap a set of Pirelli XCs on my bike. I really like them but I can get 3 Maxxis for the price of 2 Pirellis.
If you like the Michelin Pat, try the Metzeler 6 day extreme's. Better £ and as good if not better tyre! Alec
+1 plus they last longer than the michelin. the michelin is great straight off but wears very quickly
