Maxxis MaxxCross IT, run at about 14 psi with HD tubes.

 

Me too
IT pro are amazing

 

I use Michelin enduro medium on my 400. Might try trackers next time Bit cheaper. 14 psi to avoid pinch punctures. Plenty of grip.

never tried Maxxis

In my humble any of the 'pukka' enduro tyres won't last long if you do any tarmac work between the lanes, you then end up running on half worn out tyres because in terms of age they are still new. I run Michelin Trackers, front and rear, they are pretty good for general dicking about on the lanes and they last well even if you ride on tarmac, they are fairly cheap too!

 

Yes I agree to a point I used to use Michelin AC 10 for years but they were not a good tyre, poor grip to say the least, I used to wear rears out in no time at all and front were lethal. I then ran comp 4 on the front which made things much better and really wore quick but grip was great but the wear was even between front and rear. Now AC10 has gone I opted to use the enduro medium. I find these really nice from a grip point of view but they do wear a bit quicker but not that bad. I would say better than comp 4 did. I’ll try the tracker next time and see how I get on. Hopefully their better than AC10.

Michelin trackers are good, Maxxis IT if you do more road work in between as they are slightly less agressive

 

The AC10 was/is a crap tyre, the Trackers are nothing like the AC10!

 

I found that any competition approved enduro tyre is a bad choice as the tread is not as deep as a full on MX tyre.
The Maxxis is not FIM approved so is a full on MX tyre (with deep tread) but is road legal.
They also last really well, and I find that the rear works better once it's worn down a bit, but I guess that's because it's very stoney around here.

I'm currently running a Mitas CO2 rear and that was not great until recently, I guess right now it's about 50% worn.. I'll be going back to the Maxxis IT when that's finished off.

TBH the only bad tyre I have run was a Pirelli MT21.
MT43 rears are ok too but you have to ride differently, it's like cheating on the stoney/rocky stuff.

 

Good write-up, why on Earth anyone would use an FIM tyre when they don’t have to I will never know, just remember why they actually exist

I lad was out with tracker rear and maxis IT front the other day , he said the the IT is a better front tyre than the tracker, it’s another choice!

Michelin mediums. They wear at a fair rate and cost a bit more than the ‘ever listing Willy wonka tyres’. Ride quality and safety in the wet is worth the extra £££ for me. I’m out laning most weekend doing 70+ miles. I get through 2 sets annually - who said mousses too😁

 

I generally run Trackers on a 701 and an FE 350. Overall, i think they are pretty good for my standard of clumsy green laning.

Enduro mediums seem a tad more grippy perhaps, and definitely clear mud better, but are a fair bit pricier.

 

As above, trackers are great bang for tour buck, cheaper than mediums, last way longer as have deeper tread and harder wearing...

...means I can afford to change them long before they look like slicks.
