    I’m after some new hoops for this season. My Dunflops are from 2009 and a little on the scary side.

    Whats the flavour this season? I saw Mal talk about Kendas, old reviews on Dunflop MX51, Does TB still rave about PS MX eXtras?

    Id like a sticky front that wont throw knobs too easy. Not worried if it wears quick Rear not so fussy but would like it to last reasonably well. To fit a 300 of course.

    Any Suttos specials?

    Running a set of Michy’s from Suttos M12 front and rear. $185 from Tisco the man at Suttos. B)

    If you are hard on the rear tyre the Sunny Corner loam will tear up the soft rears. Dont go a hard tyre either as the slippery red clay will have you on your arse or down the bottom of a tricky hill looking at your mates up the top.

    See Mals thread on the Kendas that he is loving atm.

    Just dont run a half worn, or worse, rear. :silly:

    Heavy Duty or Ultra Heavy Duty tubes are the go if you dont like changing your pinched tubes on the trail. Most of the local folk run mousse tubes which tells you something.

    Gotta love rolling into the forest on new tyres . :woohoo:

    That clay hill last year made my old 756 look bad. Got up on the 4th attempt after everyone took 3inches off the top soil for me. New tyres this time.

    I have been using the Michelin M12 front for a while now and do a heap of riding around Sunny Corner,excellent grip and wears very well.

    I hear the M12 on the rear is also good,

    Cheers Marty

    S12 front and rear if you don’t mind getting through rear tyres a bit quicker or compromise with an S12 front and an MX Extra on the back. That combo will give you more miles and do the job but not the supreme hook up of an S12 rear.

    I’ve been happy with S12 front M12 rear… Running a mousse in front and UHD rear… Is it time yet? :)

    i agree, M12’s rears are downright dangerous bastards on corners

    S12’s all round, there is no compromise :laugh: :laugh:

    Yep looks like Michelin is the flavour of the month. S12 for winter and Rockets rear because he’s selling it to me cheap haha.

    Thanks for the info team.

    I ended up with an M12 rear by mistake a thought it give it a go , it’s not a patch on the S12 for traction and is unpredictable in the corners.

    S12 for sure !
