Are they the old school Trailmax or the Trailmax TR91 radial version?

Nope there the old school ones. The new ones are more expensive ( by �25 ish)

I've just finished off a set off the new TR91 type. Very good road only tyre, but going back to TKC80 next. The one you've got is more of a dual purpose tyre. Funny enough I don't actually know of anyone who has ever tried the standard Trailmax, so it would be interesting to hear some feedback when you've done a few miles.

Tyres

I will report back when i done a few miles on them.
Surely someone on here must have used them before.......?
As i said above my commute to work is along some very minor road and the recent flash floods we have had, plus farmer palmer leaving some of his field on the road doesnt make for good traction, especially using a road biased tyre.
I was using a DRZ400 SM last year with dunlop mutants on and they were very good. Hopefully the trailmax will see me safely through the winter!

probably a bit late but I just got a set of Metz tourance for my tenere where I rode in and the guy does all the work. got radial tyres (I think) which has a harder construction meaning a longer lasting mileage. total cost �160. the cross ply tyres where about �10 cheaper.

this was from Charles hursts tyres in Belfast

Dunlop trialmax update

I can't even remember when I fitted these tyres ( think it was at about 2900 miles) and I've now got 5000 miles on the bike.
The rear has probably got about 500 miles left in it but the front looks fine for another 3000 miles.
I can't fault the dunlops as they've been really good through the winter on frost, mud, rain and even ice.
I will put another Dunlop on he rear soon to match the front but might try something else after that.
Has any one any tried the Metzeler Karoo 3 or Sahara
