Subject: RE: Rear Tyre Choice


Hi,
I can recommend two tires: Micheline T66 and Dunlop Trialmax. 
IMHO:
The micheline is extremly good on dry roads and high speed (maybe the best
of all @ tires ?), but "bad" on wet conditions and a bit slippy offroads.
It has a very long lifetime (~ 8.000km)
The Dunlop Trialmax is more "enduro like nervous (I like that for twisty
roads)", not so good for high speed (start's to swing over 140km/h) but
very perfect in rain and quite good for "easy" offroad attacks (good grip).
Ideal for rainy summers in the alps :-))) (lifetime: ~6.000km)
Both are stable enough to carry two person and baggage.
Have a nice slide, Martin
P.S. lifetime expectations from personal experience and 90% driving with
two person; rubber left at the end: 1mm.
