Ditto, although I'm finding this 300 is shredding my mx31 compared to my 200 go figure!! I have one flip in the tire which is happening very soon, then I think I'll try the 51 and see how much traction I give up for the extra life. Although I tell ya, I was always so happy with the 752, I'm seriously thinking of trying the 952 as they say it is the same mold as the old 752, hands down the best all around tire I ever tried.

I run a 51 in the back and either 31, MC SI or S12 in the front. the softer tires, the 300's just chew up.

i have a mx 31 to put on the front and rear when my t lock kit arives

I have been running the mitas c18 for the past few months and very happy with grip and wear. Stiff sidewall means it works well with tubliss but you do need to run lower presure than normal. Had a bridgestone gritty on before and prefer this tire
On the front I have just added an m201 and so far I like it. Better than the original enduro comp and much better than the motoz hd I had before (but that was not the. Right type of tire anyway)

yeah, the 31 does not last in the rear... i wore out a 51 just as fast. ymmv. i'm willing to sacrifice $ for traction though

Where can we get Mitas tires in the US now? The MitasMX online site is all but dead, product links all go to the same place, unclear if its just poor site maintanence or shop is closing down. There is a new plant being built in the USA but for agricultural equipment tires. I like some of the Mitas tires, the copies (same mold actually) of the old Trellies, the C-12 sand tire, and of course the ET-01 is my favorite trials tire. I'd like a source for these, would love to try some Tubliss especially the Trellborg clone, that was a good tire.

i didnt take any pics, but have a look at the video.
i was a bit sceptical at first , but i did a 90 mile tril ride yesterday and all was fine with some hard impacts on the rocks,the kit itself was easy to fit , just the dunlop tyres were super stiff so was a bit of a pain to fit , once the tyre was on the rim and the t lock inflated and the tyre i had no leaks at all

So its like a Tubliss, but they have you inflate the tire by piercing it with what looks like a shock charging needle, and it is sealed with the sealer you must add prior. So, every time you want to adjust pressure up you have to poke another hole?
