bikeperson45 Posted July 18, 2010 Report Share Posted July 18, 2010 (edited) I'm getting a lot of pinch punctures later and my Larson's getting prett worn out, but it's only been on for about a month and a half and grip is pretty much non-existant. So what tyre will last a long time? Now it's summer I'm pretty much riding everyday. Maxxis Holyrollers good? What's their thickness like? Although I still want grip for rail stuff, so pretty much looking for a perfect tyre... Any suggestions? Thanks Edited July 18, 2010 by bikeperson45 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Juan Manuel Posted July 18, 2010 Report Share Posted July 18, 2010 High Roller.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Canardweb Posted July 18, 2010 Report Share Posted July 18, 2010 Ignore the last two posts. Der Kaiser or Rain King. You will never puncture, they wear out really slowly, the grippiest compound out there, and even if it is heavy and expensive, it has the best rebound yet!! High roller always pinch flat... In my experience at least. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex Dark Posted July 18, 2010 Report Share Posted July 18, 2010 I still think conti's wear fast....best tyre for grip though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bikeperson45 Posted July 18, 2010 Author Report Share Posted July 18, 2010 Thanks for replys, although they're a little conflicting... I don't really want to spend the money on a Conti one because they sort of look like they'd wear quickly? I might make a poll.. Can anyone that's used Holyrollers comment on the grip please? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex Dark Posted July 18, 2010 Report Share Posted July 18, 2010 havent used em but I think HolyRollers are the maxxis 70a compound...so not terribly grippy, but pretty long lasting Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
forteh Posted July 19, 2010 Report Share Posted July 19, 2010 I got my rubber queen off bigman in october 08, it still has about 60-75% tread left Ok, I think the DK and RK are slightly softer but even so thats astonishing wear, grip is still pretty good although not quite as good as it was.

gage-mann Posted July 19, 2010 Report Share Posted July 19, 2010 i've got a conti rain king and the wear rate is pretty good i've had it 3-4 months and theres half tread left which aint too bad as it is a fairly grippy tire! damons RK has lasted 6 months and still has a good bit of tread Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muel Posted July 19, 2010 Report Share Posted July 19, 2010 My old Rubber Queen was on for about 6 months, and it was second hand then. (From Ali C I seem to remember). I then had to get a 2.35" Maxxis, because I got a new frame that was pretty skinny, it was the 42A version, and within about 2 weeks it had worn more than the rubber queen had in 6 months. I was riding fairly regularly too, it wasn't like I had a few months off with the rubber queen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
3dd Posted July 19, 2010 Report Share Posted July 19, 2010 I have been running rain king for 3 months now and it's prety much as good as new. If you want something grppy, cheap and long lasting try Kenda Nevegal Stick-e. I had a rear one before and that lasted ages. My front nevegal that I had for 7 month has still got middle tread left (about 3mm) And it is very grippy! Those are cheap too! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Le @ Tnn Engineering Posted July 20, 2010 Report Share Posted July 20, 2010 unless your a serious weight weenie go a conti RK or DK these things grip to everything and almost never pinch flat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ross McArthur Posted July 20, 2010 Report Share Posted July 20, 2010 What sort of rim are you running? 47mm wide beast? What sort of riding are you doing? Streety street? Pure trials street? For pure street trials the DK and RK are probably where its at if you have the cash to spend. Ive been running a DK for 6 months and its been great...Just dont pull skids on it! As for riding streety street as I call it, I think a dual ply Max Pro Maxxis minion would be perfect. Fast rolling, hard wearing, no chance of punctures and you can even go as small as a 2.35 as on a 47mm wide rim, its still a decent size. CRC and Tarty (I think) do these for a decent price. I used to run these tyres for years and loved them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bikeperson45 Posted July 20, 2010 Author Report Share Posted July 20, 2010 Thanks for all the advice. I've decided to go for the Maxxis Minion, the reason mainly being I can't justify the price on Contis to myself but I can get them cheap anywhere I'd probably get them from what I've read. Thanks again Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
