vonhazza Posted March 23, 2015 Report Share Posted March 23, 2015 Hi there I am currently running Michelin X11 tyres and they seem to suit me better than the X-lite in terms of durability and grip, Everyone down this way is running Michelin's but their are currently good deals being offered on Dunlop 803 GP Trials tyres, so my question is how do the Dunlops compare to the Mitchelins, I have been looking for reviews of trials tyres but they all seem to be done by our Enduro cousins so not really helpful. The terrain here is generally dry and rocky so would like to know what works best in these conditions before purchasing a new tyre.

steve_earle Posted March 24, 2015 Report Share Posted March 24, 2015 I would use a Mich even in the Dunlop was half the price! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lineaway Posted March 25, 2015 Report Share Posted March 25, 2015 Steve, the GP`s an all new tire! Have you seen one yet? We ride dry rock, very large rock, Michelin not always needed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vonhazza Posted March 25, 2015 Author Report Share Posted March 25, 2015 Steve, the GP`s an all new tire! Have you seen one yet? We ride dry rock, very large rock, Michelin not always needed. I have not seen them yet but a Club member has posted that they are available here and at a very good price compared to the Michelin, I believe the new Montesa Cota 260 (non factory) may have them fitted? My last Dunlop came with a new TY175 since then I have only had Pirelli and lately (this century certainly) Michelin tyres. I thought that the Dunlop 803's had been around since 2005 but perhaps the GP is a new tyre? Steve, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steve fracy Posted March 25, 2015 Report Share Posted March 25, 2015 Yes the GP is all new so make sure it is actually the GP Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steve_earle Posted March 25, 2015 Report Share Posted March 25, 2015 Ah so it's the new Dunlop! I haven't seen them yet. I would be interested to see how they perform but I wouldn't take the gamble myself. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
axulsuv Posted March 26, 2015 Report Share Posted March 26, 2015 I asked RYP last weekend and he has no news yet , But a bunch of the old 803's in stock. The section needs rubber before I actually start using it . May just try a set of X-lites for our local mud .... Glenn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
