Simpson Posted June 25, 2009 Report Share Posted June 25, 2009 (edited) Basically people say that the DMR's are among the best out there, and I've destroyed mine in 2 hours of doing a rolling gap so need some help. (brought the DMR Rt's in the end) and can use my Maxxis DH tube to offer pinch protection. Edited June 25, 2009 by Simpson Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigamac Posted June 25, 2009 Report Share Posted June 25, 2009 Go birdy style and cut the tred off Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simpson Posted June 25, 2009 Author Report Share Posted June 25, 2009 Go birdy style and cut the tred off Done that but its comprimised the sidewall rigidity so its all a bit crap. So intelligent answers only please.Looking at the hookworm 2.5 for the rear weighing in at only 535g seems like half the weight of a big tyre but how will it hold up for harder street riding?

Simpson Posted June 25, 2009 Author Report Share Posted June 25, 2009 To quote CRC..."Acceleration and braking traction is accomplished via horizontally-aligned grooves with square edges. Cornering adhesion is a result of "U" shaped channels that run the full sidewall to sidewall of the tread pattern. The HookWorm was engineered to optimize the entire tread pattern as a potential contact patch, analogous to a motorcycle road racing tyre. This allows traction in all high-lean situations.• Curved grooved slick design• High rated pressure 65 PSI• Rim to rim tread-protected sidewalls• Tire Size - 24” x 2.5”• TPI - 60• Max PSI - 65• Weight - 535g" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chimpanzyyyy Posted June 25, 2009 Report Share Posted June 25, 2009 To quote CRC...• Weight - 535g"if it's true, it's a pretty good weight. I don't know if it's the best tyre for street/trial riding though. But as I say, they look cool Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ross McArthur Posted June 25, 2009 Report Share Posted June 25, 2009 I love Moto's for the rear. I run a pretty slick Tioga Skidrow on the front. Could be nice on the rear though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's probably more like 1535 grams. Especially for 2.5". What about a DMR Moto? They roll real well, also come in foldable, but are pretty hard to get hold of (in foldable).

monkeyseemonkeydo Posted June 25, 2009 Report Share Posted June 25, 2009 Yeah, the 26" ones were around 2kg each... I'm still running DMR Moto RT's and I imagine if you pump them up to 60psi or whatever they'd be perfect for park but wouldn't screw you up if you actually wanted to ride some more normal street too.

Mark W Posted June 25, 2009 Report Share Posted June 25, 2009 Odyssey do the Aitken street tyre in a 2.25" size that inflates to around 2.3" or so. Maybe not as wide as you want, but they're awesome tyres... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jake Beach Posted June 25, 2009 Report Share Posted June 25, 2009 Not sure what these are like but they are 30g lighter than the lightest on Tarty. http://www.intensetires.com/tire_pages/ICC-07.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spektrum Posted June 25, 2009 Report Share Posted June 25, 2009 (edited) I have some DMR moto tires (front and back) and im running them around 40-45 psi and they ran fine at a street park. They felt a little funny when dropping in, but otherwise i'd say their perfect. Edited June 25, 2009 by Spektrum Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
