tyres trelleborg / metzeler

Got to get some fresh tyres. So I know about the metzeler 6 day extreme, but in a time long ago trelleborg were standard fit to husqvarna and were a very under rated tyre, they did avsandmaster and a tennmaster which had same treadvpattern ascthe metzeler moto cross enduro ie 4 knob y knob. Are trelleborg available in the uk anymore.

4 knob 5 knob pattern, bloody touch screen

Probably still get Trelleborg they were excellent tyres but think owned or go under the Mitas brand now    so give them a try but personally would go down the Maxxis route good alround tyre.

Have a chat with a few more Forumites to see what there using...

Trelleborg you must be 40 years of age roughly........lol I used them on my rm 80 back in 1986. Good tyre tho......

Have another guess nate,
My first bike was a bsa bantam, first proper mxer was a yamaha mx100 followed by a 125 maico,
Girling gas shocks were state of the art and preston petty were the only plastic mudguards made.

Maxxis. Thought that these are cheng chin which were an awful tyre, last a full season racing they were so hard but had f__kall grip, and needed three foot long tyre levers to fit them. Still got a tool called a breezer I had to buy to fit one to my fluff browen ajs

Had the metz 6 dayers for last years Powys event on a 450 , fantastic tyre !

I've got a pair of 6 days on my 525, amazing grip! Too early to say on the wear rate as i've not done a lot on them yet

Check out trellisport , they are the mitas and trellborg dealer , mitas extream 754 I the new trellborg ten master , and the mitas co2 is similar tread pattern     the co2 is OK for trail riding and will last for ever but the grip ain't the best on wet grass , with a mousse fitted

Six days lasted 1 day on me xr650 so make your own mind up on that - Products change and materials used in there construction change so keep asking the boyz on here...what there using seems to be plenty of options
