RE: Michelin trials tires
Any Feed back on these tires?
ORIGINAL: Divodave
Just had mine delivered, big stamp on the side: For Off Road Use Only! Dremeled it off and buffed the area. Anybody know where I can get a DOT stamp?
I think I effed up getting these tires, but I will try them out in different scenarios and give a report. I doubt if they will last pissing time.

I did more research, they are DOT approved.

Check this video of David Knight winning round two of the 2007 Maxxis Endurocross at the Lazy E Arena in Guthrie, Oklahoma. I got an interview with David moments before this video was made. David won the race on trials tires front and rear. Most of the top riders used them.
The story will be in the December issue of Ride Oklahoma Magazine.

Great video, Bill, thanks for posting.
Trials tires are all about grip and performance. They may not look cool, but I know a lot of folks that use them and swear by them. They are also easier on the trails and terrain. I'm seriously considering one for my next rear tire.

I don't think anyone said they were better in mud specifically. But who just rides mud? I've heard they are great at rocky, rooty, gnarly terrain where knobbies spin-out these have traction and get up you that hill with little drama.

sounds like Capital Forest! [8D]
I have seen "Trial Tires" go on sale for really cheap ($30-40) would they be safe or as 'good'?
which Brand of trials are sub-par?
