What tyres?

[samwise]

What tyres are people running on their Domis, and what's your normal riding (% road / % off-road / off-road gravel, mud etc).

I'm running the Trailwing TW41 and TW42, but thinking what to replace them with next time as they should both be getting low on tread at roughly the same time this time.

Have you ever tried Heidenau K60. It's a superb tire in both ends. It won't give any surprices in every conditions and by playing with the tire pressures it's very capable in all surfaces wet/dry.

It's like TKC80 Conti but maybe lasts a bit longer, try it and make your own opinion. I liked these Heidenau K60's last summer, and will try those again someday.... :D

I've had these on the NX, in no particular order:
- Dunlop D604 (Ho-hum. Were on the bike when I bought it)
- Conti TKC80 (Great do-it-alls, enough grip for most things both on and off road)
- Michelin Anakee (Almost a pure road tyre, very nice and grippy even in the rain, but skittish on road repairs and ridges and stuff)
- Metzeler Enduro 3 (rear only, verdict "okay" but I'd rather have TKCs)

At the moment I'm back on TKCs.

I may go for TKCs next time - the TWs are doing fine for now though :D

Started out with Avon distenzia's, then changed for trailwings on a reccomendation. Gone back to the Avons now as I couldn't stand 4000 miles per rear on the trailwings :shock: The Avon gave 8500 miles and wasn't threadbear at the end of it, plus I reckon they grip just as well in both wet and dry. Currently doing 10-11K a year all on the tarmac so long life is good for me :D
Not a popular tyre though, but I don't know why :? I've ridden with guys running all sorts of rubber and never get left out in the twisties even by SRX's, XBR's and skorps, so the Avons got to be good on grip, cos I am definately no Foggy :oops:

On my AT I had Anakee's for a while and they were a superb road tyre very confidence inspiring.
Then I changed to TKC80's, and they are awesome off-road. They twitch for me in the wet and cold, but they are superb on the road when its dry.
The only problem for me with them is that they wear so quickly. I get around 4K out of a rear but they are cheap, and I get 3 rear's to a front.

i reckon Michelin Sirac for the Dominator, mine are over 10,000km old and l am due finally for a new rear tyre this month
great for wet weather riding on bitumen aswell

Michelin Sirac on the rear & Dunlop Trailmax front. The Michelin is fine, but the Dunlop is new so I have no opinion yet.

Continental Escapes - great grip in the dry - not too bad in the wet.

Will be changing to TKC 80's when there rear is dead for better off road and better look.

90% road and 10% off road (not many Legal green lanes where i live :cry: ) - when i get the TKC's will do a bit more off road.

Come over here for a break and I'll show you our tracks :P

I'm currently running Pirelli MT21's - they are excellent off the tar - make the NX handle way better in the bush.

However, I want to get a set off tyres for long road trips. I was thinking of Metzler Enduro 3's, but after having a read though this I may try a set of Michelin Sirac's for good road performance

Any comments/comparisons from users of either tyre ???
