goudrons Posted January 11, 2016 Report Share Posted January 11, 2016 (edited) That depends on what wheel your are fitting it to. If it's a Morad rim with a flanged, ie, spokes through a flange rather then through the rim it's self. Then only fit a Michelin as IRC's and Dunlops don't seem to grip the rims and pop off/deflate with the slightest impact.

lineaway Posted January 12, 2016 Report Share Posted January 12, 2016 The new Dunlop GP`s hand`s down. And they come on most of the new 2016`s. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
btc273 Posted January 12, 2016 Report Share Posted January 12, 2016 I agree, I think i have tried them all and just got a 2016 Sherco with the Dunlop GP's on it and love them. Our first trial this year was very icy and saw a lot of people struggle to get traction. I rode well and found some traction when others did not.

vonhazza Posted January 12, 2016 Report Share Posted January 12, 2016 Michelin X Lite for the Expert superior grip but will wear out quicker, X11 for the Clubman good grip and longer lasting, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ftp Posted January 12, 2016 Report Share Posted January 12, 2016 Michelin X Lite for the Expert superior grip but will wear out quicker, X11 for the Clubman good grip and longer lasting, But wont every level benefit from better grip ? or is it something to do with the sidewall on the x lite and expert riding ?

vonhazza Posted January 12, 2016 Report Share Posted January 12, 2016 (edited) But wont every level benefit from better grip ? or is it something to do with the sidewall on the x lite and expert riding ? Expert riders are riding more difficult sections which require more from rider and equipment and who are willing to purchase several tyres a season, the more sidewall flexible X lite does not last as long as the X11 as the sidewalls crack with longer use so yes if you want or need a superior tyre and cost per use is not an issue then go for X lites, I personally feel that for most of us mortals the X11 is a very good tyre and a better deal in terms of grip and longevity and I don't think there is enough difference in grip between the 2 to benefit most Clubman riders, Edited January 12, 2016 by vonhazza Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
