1986 Tires

what tires would have come on a 1986 510 Enduro?
anyone ever heard of Michelin Multi-Cross?

I cant read the tire sidewall, but the Multi-Cross was a Metzler.

I stand corrected

I've run multi cross. Worked well for me......gnarly woods & hard pac

u get a new old bike Premo?

no just took a look at my 86 510TE and noticed the tires
what would have been the OEM tires, Metzler is listed, but which ones

wasn't there a uni-cross metzler as well?

Not sure what the US bikes had on them, but everything we got in Canada from that era was Trelleborg Ten Masters. We got the Euro spec'd bikes in Canada when we had our own importer.

Are you trying to get everything original?

that tire looks just like a metzeler uni-cross. great tire! i run those and the pirelli mt21 version. they are both the same lug height now, the metzeler used to be a bit shorter. both are very durable and seem to work well everywhere.

yes on the Uni-cross but I think they came out the next year (don't quote me as an expert)

that would make sense. i bet the multicross turned into the unicross..it looks the same.

they do share a lot of similarities
since it is an old tire I don't know what the original compound was, it's hard now
but yes the Uni-cross is good, I run them on the front for sure

It's been a while but I thought I've had both over the years.

I still run the Uni-cross
but do not remember ever running or hearing of the Multi-cross
but oh yeah I was a Trelleborg fan back then, my brother convinced me of the Uni-cross

mitas has the molds for the trelleborg tire line, but many of their tires arent imported here. my studded winter tires are the old trelleborg mold but made new by mitas and sold as the "winter friction"...they are excellent. if they were imported we could have the "deep grip" and "tenmaster" again, albeit with a different name.

You can get them through Moto Race in US or MX1 Canada.

They are the XT 754

18 or 19 inch only.

I still use them a lot.

This is the last one I had on my 310.

That's a low hour Pirelli that I took off and you can see quite a difference.

we ran the metzler 2plys for years till they were phased out. a superb tyre, ate a ten master for brekky.

I kept the ten master on my husky from new due to the reputation and was happy with its performance UNTIL I got a flat while leading the class at the 1985 Alpine enduro. I found a nice grassy spot next to a fire road and set about a 60 second tyre change . 7 bloody goes to fix that sucker and i houred out without fixing it . A metzler 2 ply would have lept onto the rim and be 100 yds down the track. I took that poxy ten master and hurled it at the husky dealer and said "GET ME A F%$#$KMETZLER " I couldn't get the beads on the ten master to separate to get the valve in then it would pinch the tube every time I went to do the final clip....until I ran out of patches, air bottles and time.

that trie has evolved over the years. just the name not the tire. they originally came from the factory with Metzeler motrcross which turned into the multi-cross which turned into the uni-cross. the style and pattern never changed . just the name. uni-cross is the tire that is available today. awesome all around tire.

that is VERY interesting, the SAME tire relabeled and sold as the newest,, goodest,, bestest
