sorry boys, maybe i wasnt too clear on my queery…

its more the front tyre im thinking about.

the kato eats rear tyres (well it ate the metzeler 6 day that it came with in under 400 k’s….thats including the first 100 being for runnin in the donk). thats what savage 2 smokers do. (and i love it)

i checked out the michelin site and the starcross looks like its what im lookin for, it suits the terra firma i encounter.
i think ill give it a go..

but please feel free to give all your opinions, as i will take them all on board, and im sure others will too..

Hey TB did i read somewhere that you tried a Recross retread on the back, if so how did it go?

Yeah I tried a free front and I paid for a rear, the both used with Mousse tubes which give you a tyre pressure of around 13psi, should be the best for spread, surface area and grip.

The front is good, lots of knob flex when new on hard pack, but once you are used to it its ok, the tyre wears ok and stops the knob flex, the front has done between 400 and 450 kilometres, the next 3 day ride will see it out. At around $70 buck each I am not sure an will have to re run a starcross to check but I think I would expect around 1800 kilometers from a starcross 3 Michelin, Crash may remember how many miles to expect, at $120 odd dollars its better value.

The rear I paid for has only done 350 to 380 kilometers its rooted, its to soft, the knobs dont rip of will give it that, but thats because its so soft. The traction in the wet at the Watagans was bad and the dry hard pack worse. If you want a cheap tyre yeah ok maybe but you get what you pay for. You can only get one pattern and one compound

TB

mate, does all that mean that ya reckon the starcross is a good tyre for the front???

as for carlsbad’s, ive had mates that ride with them. they reckon theyre ok, but these blokes ride on the slower side, usually in a flanno shirt and jeans and blundstones. rednecks might be the word for them.
personally, the only place id put them is on a pitbike!

I resemble that remark:S

sorry mate, didnt mean to offend….

[dennis da menaceMember]

thanks fellas, thats all as clear as mud:laugh:

the terrain i ride is 90% hard pack (hard as buggery)and chunky rocks. the other 10% is shallow, loose marbly type stuff, which believe it or not, gives more traction when its wet. it seems to clag together. but when dry it can be like riding on a bed of 6mm ball bearings…..great fun!:silly:

i used to use dunny D752’S (i think) (substance abuse had taken that memory away:P ), on the front, and whatever was cheap and available on the bum. that was on my TT350 though.

the Kato 300, seems to wheelspin a touch more!
sorry TB, i have a throttle control absence valve fitted to my brain:woohoo:

whats the diff between a m12 and an s12, i know its compound but which ones harder. since ive nearly forgotten what rain is, being in vic. im looking for the harder one, i think.

i dont believe money is an object when it comes to front wheel sureness, as the way i ride, being a hack, i put a lot of trust in front end stability. am i better to go a soft compound front or will this just tear knobs off.

hmmmmm…..

anyway, what about trials tyres (on rear) anyone given them a crack.

i think i’ll scout the local bike shops and see whats around then i’ll throw a few choices at ya’s and see what everyone reckons.

thanks for all you’ses input…

I was just sitting on the verandah a minute ago and this almighty crash came from the shed!!
I ran down to investigate and what a mess!!
The new XR which has been standing happily in the shed on its stand since 4pm yesterday just decided to spontaneously fall arse over head. In doing that it took The KX85 out which in turn,took a PW80 out which then had enough weight behind it to take out the CAT XR which then fell into the line of bicycles we have in the shed (,what a freaking mess!! The domonio effect from hell!!
There is fuel every where but no damage that I can see yet.
What makes a bike that has been standing there for over 12 hrs decide to just fall over for no reason?

maybe it was snoozing and had a horrible nightmare about being ridden into a ditch, which made it jump!!

or it might just be old age…..

the glue factory awaits…..
