Trials Tires - Comparison
Dunlop
Model: 4.00R-18 D803, $118.98Dunlop's new 803 replaces the 801 and, for the trials guys, has been a huge improvement. The radial construction makes the tire very compliant yet not nearly as wallowy as the Michelin radial, but it does have that spongy feeling. It feels like the Dunlop has a bit more sidewall stiffness and, at the same time, has great bite under normal trail riding speeds. It worked well everywhere, and only a few riders thought it wasn't as grippy as the Michelin, mostly on ultrahardpack. It was noticeably better in sand, though. The tire was a little tighter on the rim during mounting and really needed lube. You cannot ride this tire flat. View Related Article
