g4321 Posted October 8, 2005 Report Share Posted October 8, 2005 why not just try them yourself? I might yet but if somewone replies and tells me that they have tried them and found them no use at all then obviously I will not bother. I am trying to find out what others experiences of these tyres are. Gordon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marky g Posted October 9, 2005 Report Share Posted October 9, 2005 More to the point, how often do you guys change your tyres? An IRC rear will last me a good 6 / 7 months (with turning) and a front twelve months. With the IRC I know I'm getting a good tyre and at roughly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scorpa3 Posted October 11, 2005 Report Share Posted October 11, 2005 Michelin do a standard trials tyre, not an X11, which I believe is fitted to Beta Alps as original equipment. These are Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ham2 Posted October 20, 2005 Report Share Posted October 20, 2005 My mate has an 05 gasser 250 with a Vee rubber rear tyre fitted 1 week ago. Personally I don't think that bike grips well with any top brand tyre on it so I am paying close attention as to the performance of this new tyre . First impressions are quite good-- soft compound ( like blocks of fudge )--so it grips quite well on loose surfaces but the sidewall seems a little stiff. Its running at 4 psi at the mo' so I'm trying to see what it grips like with less air in ( like I said its not my bike so I can only make suggestions ) Early days -- juries still out--I'll keep you informed !
