Trials Tires - Comparison
Pirelli
Model: 4.00-18 MT 43, $80.95 The MT83 is the stiffest of the trials tires we tested and the only one that deviates from the standard square-only block design of the tread. The rubber is harder, and it is very easy to mount. Tractionwise, the Pirelli gives up to all the tires just a little on grip, mostly from the less-sticky rubber, but the tire is still compliant enough to flex and grab traction as only a trials tire can. It does most of the good things that the others do, such as stick where a knob would spin, help the suspension and last a long time, plus it is also the only one that you could ride for any distance on a flat tire. It is, again, just under the others a little in braking performance, and when it wears, it loses just a bit more performance than the others. But it does last a long time and is also the cheapest tire of the lot. View Related Article
