Michelin AC10 tyres

no longer using the TTR to commute to work

bought a set of Michelin Ac10 tyres which i got fitted last week. Only because other forum members have said they suit the bike.
pretty big change from the Kenda k761 dual sport tyre which i had front and rear.

On the way to the bush it was pouring rain and i felt confident still going around 80km/h.
The state forest i ride in is next to the coast so i had found decent traction over different terrains like mud, rocks, clay, dirt, sand.

After what i have done so far i can definitely recommend these if you dont do so much road riding. They have been wearing alright

These look very like the mitchelin enduro comp which are a great tyre .

Does anyone know the difference as i need a new back tyre and have stuck with the ecs for years but might try something different .

I also use AC10's and think they are very good off road and ok on road.

I had a set on my TTR...
rear is great...

fronts not so flash..
dosn't hook up unless you are running
it at very low pressure then you run
the risk of impact puntures..

I run these now... 

216 front / 230 rear..

I have used AC10 front and rear for a while now. Off road they are great, but I don't like the feel from the rear especially when riding on the road. Very noisy as well and wear rate of the rear riding on the road was very high. I have kept the AC10 front and fitted a Conti Twinduro TKC80 4.00 on the rear. I believe these have a 60/40 off road bias. I have to do a fair bit of road riding to get to any green lanes here in Sussex. Road manners vastly improved.

I find the AC10 cheap but bad for mud and specially stones. The best tires are probably the Pirelli Scorpion MX and MX Extra. They are good even when they are very worn.

Yes, you can puncture easily with them, specially if you use a low preasure. But with a 1/1.2 bar, at this motorcycle, you will get a good traction at all terrains. However, I use them loaded with a anti-puncture product. If my tire is punctured, just I need load with more air the tire and run over 2km, the punctured will be sealed.

I have one of these. ;)

+1 on the Slime compressor - great bit of kit. I carry one in a headlight bag - see here.

I used air bombs a long time ago but they are an expensive way to find the puncture or snake bite! 

I can't recall using it on my own bike but it has helped get riding mates going again so the day out trail riding pass isn't wasted wink

Don't know why michelin staggered the side nobs on the rear but not the front...
fronts just slip slip sliding away... but the rear hooks up real well..
1 out of 2 an't bad... 50% win rate...
