Recommend me one. The trial type maxxis front is just hopeless on the mud as it just doesn't clear the tread. Rear is fine as it spins it off eventually

Michelin enduro for me but watch out for the soft/medium ones as they wear quickly with road use.

I'll see what I have in stock tomorrow.

The freeride seems quite light on its tyres. If that Maxxis trail had been on the KLX rear it would have shredded it.

Thinking maybe Mousse inside for front and I have a new Maxxis Trail for rear soon with a tubeliss to fit. I assume you are talking different Maxxis Ray to the one I have as that just skates around on the mud.

Maybe you got something Snaf I can buy off you?

Got a Michelin Tracker front coming, replacement for the old AC10 apparently. £35 from Demon Tweaks, thought that was good value

Blimey DT have some good deals on, £50 for Michelin enduro tyres is less than trade prices I get.

Ho ho. Yes lots and quite soft rubber so hopefully reasonably grippy on the rock.

Front tyre has lost pressure since last ride so think it was low hence having trouble steering lol

Having done several ride outs on the Front Michelin Tracker tyre I can say they are brilliant. Better than the AC10s they replaced.

Good grip on mud and not bad on slippy rock either. Tremletts sell them, he asked me what they were like as he was MOTing the KTM for me. He had sold quite a few but had no feedback. Told them they were really good and cheap too.
