rusty ken Posted April 5, 2023 Report Share Posted April 5, 2023 I'm needing to change the back tyre on my 350 Matchless. The options available are a Michelin x lite or x11, an IRC, or a Dunlop. These are all designed with modern machinery in mind, but can anyone provide any advice on which wiuld best suit a heavyweight pre-unit?

jon v8 Posted April 5, 2023 Report Share Posted April 5, 2023 The other thought is a Mitas. https://bvm-moto.co.uk/index.php?route=product/product&product_id=529 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carl ekblom Posted April 5, 2023 Report Share Posted April 5, 2023 Have used tubeliss last years at my Bultaco, together with X11 and 803GP. Little more complicated to mount but saves a lot of trouble. Think it is a good product. No inner tube is needed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
b40rt Posted April 5, 2023 Report Share Posted April 5, 2023 IRC tube type on a b40 which weighed North of 100kg, tyre pressure about 5psi. Excellent tyre imo. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rusty ken Posted September 22, 2023 Author Report Share Posted September 22, 2023 Thanks for all the advice. I fitted a tube type IRC, which I was told to run at 6psi (it's fitted to a pleasently plump 350 Matchless, and I'm not exactly at my fiighting weight either). It did the job and worked really well, lots of grip and much better than the Michelin it replaced, but to be fair that had been fitted for a few years and was definitely past it's best. Would happily recommend the IRC to anyone considering changing. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
