section swept Posted September 8, 2020 Report Share Posted September 8, 2020 The black ones....made of a rubbery substance. Think you’ll find its a toss up between Michelin or IRC each to their own. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonnyc21 Posted September 8, 2020 Report Share Posted September 8, 2020 (edited) In order of preference not value/cost. Michelin X11 Dunlop 803gp Michelin X lite I actually like the X lite just a bit more when grip is the primary consideration but I find I get flats on sharp stuff or when puncture weeds (goat heads) are around and the Dunlop's do better against them than the X lite. Haven't tried the IRC's so can't comment on them. Edited September 8, 2020 by jonnyc21 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pauls320 Posted September 9, 2020 Report Share Posted September 9, 2020 Many have had issues trying to keep air in the tire on the newer flanged rear rims with the less popular brands...stick with Michelin or Dunlop on newer bikes 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rabie Posted September 9, 2020 Report Share Posted September 9, 2020 if you are riding a lot on mud (we do down here) then its proably like a 50:50 split IRC to michelin (Dunlop aren't really seen much down here) if you are on rock (i infer you are) then it seams to be a split between Dunlop and Michelin the x-llight save weight but for most riders thats not an issue if you are really tight then the pirelli is cheaper (much more hard wearing for road work) and then there are cheaper ones still (vee rubber, cheng shing, etc, etc) 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
guy53 Posted September 9, 2020 Report Share Posted September 9, 2020 I have one to give away, so it's free. I can assure you it's not the best one. Guy 1 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
