Michelin E-Wild 2.6 tyres.

[The EMF]

Any one out in Emtb land running Michelin E-wild tyres. Appreciate thoughts, pros and cons.
Cheers

I ran one for a while on the rear. Good in the dry (but the DHR2 is better) fantastic when it's tacky, shite when it's sloppy.

Cheers bud, I’ve just been looking on the “tyre” section on the forum and have very mixed results.
Cheap on eBay so just thought I’d ask the question
Thanks for reply……….stay vertical

I have used the Wild Enduro ( not E wild). They are front or back specific. The front tyre is fantastic....as good as a DHF. The rear tyre is pretty fast rolling and with good traction except when it is muddy.........but so are most tyres that do not have an open tread pattern.....so for winter use change the back for a Shorty or similar.

I've run various sets of WILD (non E) Enduro F&R over the last 4 years. It's been my default tyre, and is generally a good all rounder. This is the first winter I've tried something else (Specialized Cannibal's) and I'm glad I've made the change for the wet / mud as the softer compound is great for wet roots and rocks.
I'll go back to riding the WILD's in April, as they cope well in dry / dusty / damp conditions, as well as being reasonably fast rolling. Another plus is they have a pretty robust casing whilst remaining reasonably light at the same time.

I run 27.5x2.8’s on my Kenevo. I love the e wild enduros. Got tired of crappie Maxxis tires with torn off knobs and cut sidewalls. Michelins work well in the wet and the dry and the seem to hold up great.

In my experience pretty good tyres for all round use. Not that good in really wet muddy conditions but then that's true of lots of tyres and you need a much more open tread pattern for that. They wear well too. They were in really short supply a year or so ago but seem to be plenty around now.

Yes after trying most tyres I’m comfortable on the e wilds. Very good tyre they just don’t last long

If you do road riding on them, they will wear quickly but on the trails they last as long as any soft compound tire.

I've been using an E-Wild on the rear of my Rail5 for several trips to Bpw & I'm not dead yet
I've also run a 'Wild Enduro' (not E-wild) on the front

but the last 2 trips I've been running a Maxxis Arseguy on the front but putting the Michlin back on for tomorrows trip

only criticism of the E-wild is.... it doesn't want to keep air inside when run tubeless! annoying but seems common


Rich.

I am very happy with my E-Wilds (27.5x2.8) after having 2 DHR-II fail at the bead when they got to 2/3 worn, these tyres have been great and perform very well in all conditions

Yes I ride to the trails near me which wears them down quickly

I put a hole in an E-wild on my rear and that was with a rimpact
I’m now using tough casing WGB Judge
