|   swap Scorpians for Michelin Wildgrippers on Dakar xlt 1.0? | Caserider
Jun 12, 2003 8:50 AM | | Just picked up a new Jamis Dakar SLT 1.0. Can't seem to wipe the smile off my face. This is a great ride. The bike that I am selling has new Michelin Wildgrippers . I'm thinking of swapping the tires. Any opinions on the Michelins vs. the Hutchinson Scorpians? |

Jun 12, 2003 1:07 PM | | are supposed to be a mud tyre only... Most people find they handle not so good on hardpack etc - dont inspire confidence etc..... I like them now how to ride em on any condition but you may like to change them to a tyre that handles more terrain nicer...
If it is wet keep the scorpions.... |

Jun 13, 2003 8:23 AM | | Thanks Trevor! I usually ride in mostly dry conditions. Sounds like it might be better to switch over to the Michelins. thx |
| Wildgrippers are also a mud tyre.. | gorse
