See my contribution of Mon 19 March to this topic. With extensive travel all over Australia on the worst tracks and off-road conditions possible in this country as well as the same and worse in Africa and Asia the Michelin XZX tyres proved unbeatable. And, because of their high price I only bought the Michelin XZX tyres after sad experience with other brands. The Type 36 Variant with Michelin XZX tyres was used on dirt roads and off-road for much of its life in Zambia, Malawi, Tanzania, Mozambique and Botswana and conditions there were worse than in Auistralia. The Type 2 Kombis that I have used with Michelin XZX tyres were used all over Australia notably on the Birdsville and Strzelecki Tracks and Gunbarrel Highway and the gulf Country of N.Qld as well as overland across Asia and, of course, overland across Africa, a continent where 'roads' in the western sense do not exist. I could not have had better experience from any other tyre.
