My Original at81 now shot time for a freshie this w/e Prefer this to the mx34 rear overall? I’m riding similar terrain but with dunes and hard pack / pea gravel thrown in Is the crown of the carcass thinner or thicker than the mx34? Shape of the m5b looks a flatter profile than the mx34 Am on the same steed Cheers in advance
M5B carcass has a softer build than the MX34, it's very sensitive to air pressure for tubes, or Mousse squish. Sidewalls also feel squishy. I run heavy duty 4mm, had it at a higher pressure than I normally run (9 to 10 PSI); lower pressures had it a bit washy in turns. I personally like the performance of the AT82 and MX34 over the M5B, however the M5B crushed the Dunlops for durability. I think it's a pick your battle situation.
I ended up fitting another golden tire GT333 which i ran on my TE before I bought the TX. IRC’s only seem to be available online in Australia Nearly went the mx34 or starcross 6 med/hard but prefer a thinner crown of the tyre for the rocks. Also run 4mm bridgy tube in the back & mousse + GT216 front 110/100 gt333’s are tall and the profile steeper. Sharpened up the handling a little too much. Overall they work but next time maybe the 120
It was a skinny 110/100 - I don't think they had other sizes on sale at the time, which is the only reason I picked it. Definitely felt the skinny-wobble a bit. I think a 120/90 or 130 would feel better, especially with the softy knobs. 🛵
@@podpocalypse9817I just put a ve33s on my rim going to try that pretty soon it's another IRC tire supposed to be a pretty good one maybe you should try it out I love the tire videos
@@mikeaust80 Actually I realized the size I put in my video is a lie 😂. Awkward. It's a 120/80. Can't tell the difference between my 110/100 AT81 in terms of width though.

📝Video correction: I accidentally stated the rear was a 110/100-18 EVO. Apologies, it's a 120/80-18.
Sir thats a goat trail.... Nice riding. Looks like some good old Southern Utah dirt.
M5B on the rear is always a solid choice!
What gearing do you run on your tx 300?
I've been happy with the stock setup of 14/48

What size rear you go for ? 130/80 very close to the original at81.
Irc not very common here in australia . At82’s not out here yet either

Your size 110/80? They only seem to come in 80 profile. 130/80 = similar to 110/100
