Dmr Transition

Does anyone have any experience with these?

I keep getting pinches, so want a dual-ply tyre, but I seem to be getting on very well with the more "rolly" type tyres.

I'm getting into bunnyhops/manuals more than TGS/natural, so I may as well go for it.

There's a couple of comments saying they're fairly pinch resistant, and that they're grippy, but not from trials riders.

I reckon I'll go for it if no-one's tried them, but please shout out if you know they're not up to scratch.

Decent wear life?

Cheers

Edit: For the rear, this is.

First thing, they are heavyyyyyyyyy.

They have quite a hard compound which isn't amazing for trials but it lasts a long while.

They make no noise at all and rolling resistace is almost nothing.

You can run them at high psi if you want to aswell.

The tread pattern is wierd it opens when you turn hard and closes on the straight or at low pressures meaning they like to kill you in the wet.

You could try maxxis hookworms, there more expensive but less than half the weight and a softer compound.

I've just ordered a set but haven't used them as yet.

I have never riden these tyre but iv had motodiggers and my mates have had RTs on our jump bikes and the side walls rip. i don't know about these though. I would be with a hookworm or high roller personally.

scwable table tops might be worth a look as well some of my mates run these for DJ street and recommend them.

For the love of god dont buy hookworms! There fine when its warm and dry but crap when it gets moist, there still pretty heavy and an absolute c**t to get on and off ur rims, get hollyrollers there a way way better tyre

Unlike the other DMR tyres the transitions have a wrap around sidewall, meaning there almost imposiable to rip, but they weigh half a kilo more than any of the others.

Hookworms aren't heavy at all 100g heavier that holyrollers.

But annoyingly i've just bought some, well they'll only be used in the dry.

Schwalbe Crazy Bob are awesome, make a nice squeek when you skid too, and from memory they don't seem to be that heavy.

I had crazy bobs and hated them, if it was moist they didn't grip, if it was cold they didn't grip, if it was dusty they didn't grip.

If the ground wasn't tarmac they didn't grip.
