Tyre advice 400/4

(1/3) > >>

Harold 400/4:
Managed to write my rear tyre off yesterday, and looking for advice on replacement.
I searched the forum, and Avon and Pirelli got good write-ups.
Currently running Metzelers which seem Ok, but I have not tried any others for comparison.
DSS are selling Maxxis.
Any thoughts gratefully received whether recommendations, or brands to avoid.

Trigger:
Maxxis are a good tyre but, it is a soft compound which means good grip. They do not last very long if you are a hard rider. Maxxis can be bought a lot cheaper than what DSS sells them for. A good retailer for tyres is Busters/M&P or Feked.

bike-pusher:
I've found Maxxis to be a very good compromise between wear and grip - and better than most tyres that were available Back In The Day.  Dunlop K82s work well, too.

Great advice Trig, as I was going to get two sets from DSS for my 250 and 400/4, assuming it would be a good deal.
