Tires for the 570

GOTCHYA said:

Finally wore the rear tire on the 570 and was wondering if anyone had any suggestions on a good allround tire suitable for the Berg.
I do alot of single track in NSW AUST and find it difficult to find a good tyre that lasts more than 150 km's. ????????

I run Dunlop D952 Rear & Bridgestone M403 Front , they seem to be a good all round combination for the trails down here in Melbourne, but at the moment there's not many go places to ride, as most of the bush has gone up in smoke.
Also i use a Trials tyre on the rear Pirelli MT 43 , it feels a bit wierd at first but the traction up hills is out of this world.
Combination of the bikes configuration & the trials tyre allow you to go up any hill at snails pace, the bike is so well balanced you can climb up them just of idle.

Tyre pressure around 9-11 psi .
Cornering feels a bit wierd ,but once you get over the mind game its buisness as usual .

I have been a big fan of the pirelli MT 18 heavy duty tires over the last several years with much satisfaction and success, but, they have now been replaced with the Scorpion XC mid hard heavy duty tires.

The only problem that I see with using the 120/100 rear on my 570, is that the tire is pretty close to the shock guard. I'm going to try a 140/80, which is the size that the bikes are delivered in europe with to try and gain a bit more room between the tire and the shock guard. Other wise the new incarnations of these tires work as good as their predecessors. However, the side wall construction does not appear to be as stiff on the XC's as the old MT 18's.

Did you try to corner really hard and really low, MX style?

Those tires looks square to me and without any bite on the sides, this is why I wonder..

Thanks!
