I love my Michelin SIRAC's!
I'm in love with my new tyres!
3 Months ago I fitted Michelin Sirac's to my XT600E (2000). Wow what a brilliant idea, they are superb compared to the Trail Wings that were fitted on the bike when I got it. Unlike the Trail Wings they stick to tarmac consistently well. Iron manhole covers are no longer cause for concern as the Sirac's don't slip sidewards like the Trail Wings did. After about 3 miles they reach their optimum working temperature and then stick to the road like glue.
I don't know how long they will last but I can certainly recommend them to other forum users looking for a set of good "Adventure/allround type tyres for their venerable XT's.
I would imagine they are designed to be used 70% on the road and 30% on dirt tracks (not heavy mud).
By the way, I ordered them from intobikes.co.uk intobikes.co.uk :: the online motorcycle parts and accessories store and they arrived the very next day. A superb service indeed. Cost £125 for Front and Rear (90/90 17 and 120/90 21). I have since used that firm to procure other M/C parts. This company appears as good as the other company I often use - getgeared.co.uk Motorcycle Helmets | Motorcycle Clothing, Boots, Leathers, Gloves, Jackets | Motorbike Accessory Parts Another good reliable mail order company which delivers consistently within 24 hours. What would I do without the internet? Gone are the days of being ripped off by the local bike shop (which only opened when the lazy bastard could bother to get up).
