lola2354 Posted January 30, 2006 Report Share Posted January 30, 2006 Can anyone recomend which tyres works well on Pre 65 and should they be used with a tube or tubless Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
totalshell Posted January 30, 2006 Report Share Posted January 30, 2006 (edited) Michelin or IRC would seem to be the most popular. Some p65 clubs have rules about tubeless tyres and rims though that you should bear in mind.. http://yorksclassictrials.co.uk/club_rules.htm http://www.ssdt.org/sitebody/modules/Uploa...5%20Entries.pdf others take a different view or no view at all http://www.redroseclassictrials.org.uk/regulations.html thinking about it though is there a technical advantage to tubeless tyres.??

minislim Posted January 31, 2006 Report Share Posted January 31, 2006 Michelin every time. they're not the best and the most expensive for no reason. Have tried dunlop once on a bike i bought. that was ok but let you down in the mud a bit. Best way to test a trials tyre is get a small piece of glass or perspex and push it onto the tread of the tyre. most tyres knobbles close up except on the michelin and thats what you need in the mud.

lola2354 Posted January 31, 2006 Author Report Share Posted January 31, 2006 Do you use a tube with the Mitchelin tyres and what psi should I use Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
totalshell Posted January 31, 2006 Report Share Posted January 31, 2006 (edited) I have a starting point of 6 in the front and 4 in the back and work up or down to suit, DONT FORGET TO PUT RIMLOCKS ON! I've only ever not fitted them once and the valve pulled out on the 5th section of a road trial and the spare tube was back on the car seat.. lessons learnt the hard way are hard to forget Edited January 31, 2006 by totalshell Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
minislim Posted February 1, 2006 Report Share Posted February 1, 2006 if you're going for michelin's make sure they're tube type ones. the tubeless have a softer compound which clings to rocks better. but the wear faster that tubed ones.

lola2354 Posted February 1, 2006 Author Report Share Posted February 1, 2006 If there are two types of Michelin's (tube and tubeless ) do you have part numbers or can you tell me how to tell the difference Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
