TROYston Posted June 11, 2012 Report Share Posted June 11, 2012 I had a Contra 3" on the front of my 24" ages ago, it sucked, no grip, TANK. So moved down to this, and didn't feel any different but i little lighter! Get a better tire pal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TROYston Posted June 17, 2012 Report Share Posted June 17, 2012 I believe thats only in a 26"? Try the Kenda 2.5 Blue groove things. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bing Posted June 18, 2012 Report Share Posted June 18, 2012 any suggestions on new tyre then as cant find anywhere that sells Maxxis Hi Roller 2.70", 42a Super Tacky cheers I've got one, but its the standard compound, not the super tacky. still quite grippy though, although I'm on moto diggers front and rear cos I think it's a bit heavy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carlperkins Posted June 18, 2012 Report Share Posted June 18, 2012 +1 for kenda blue groove. grips on ANYTHING! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
narrowbars Posted June 18, 2012 Report Share Posted June 18, 2012 I've used the following a Maxxis high roller 60a, Maxxis swamp thing 42a and a Schwalbe Big Betty. Out of these I find the Swamp thing the best by miles. High roller - Heavy and plastic 60a compound wasn't that grippy, good wear rate and nice bounce though. Swamp thing - A little heavy at 960g but worth it imo. Very good grip, reasonable wear rate and good bounce. Currently on my 3rd one and don't see me changed to anything else anytime soon Big betty - Expensive, rolls around on off camber rocks / banks, ripped 3 nobbles off and weak side walls. Light though, personally I'll take the weight penalty of the Maxxis all day long. Roll on Continental or Try all bringing out a 24" tyre Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SamKidney Posted June 18, 2012 Report Share Posted June 18, 2012 Would make sense for try-all to release a 24" tyre. They would sell MASSES of them. One of the primary reasons more people aren't going 24" I think, down to the lack of an all round decent trial specific tyre. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd buy some straight away 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
