New model Dunlop front tyre

Post by **David Lahey** » Fri Mar 17, 2006 9:27 pm

I'm in the process of getting a new front tyre for my Rev 3 through the local bike shop. I tried for a Michelin X11 but as usual they are not available from the distributor.
I also like the Dunlop front trials tyres I have bought in the past so I tried for a Dunlop. I'm told the only front Dunlops available now are a new type but not having heard anything about them apart from what is in the brochure, I would like to know more from people who use them.
Will someone with experience with the new type Dunlop front tyre please advise how good they are?
Thanks
David

I've finally got the new type of Dunlop front trials tyre (D803F) on the Rev3 and it works great. In dry fine dirt and loose gravel, and on smooth logs it is at least as good as the Dunlop D801F and the Michelin. I haven't found any mud or wet rocks to try it on (it's pretty dry here).

... just to say, I have the new Dunlop rear on my Beta and it is great. As it has stiffer sidewalls than an x11 you can run it almost flat in the mud and it seems to wear better than the michy...
