HarshRider Posted March 29, 2005 Report Share Posted March 29, 2005 (edited) any body got any good Recommendations for a good rear tyre- right i have used maxxis minion 1ply supper tacky rear tyre which is all but a slick tyre now! before now i have used panaracer fr 2.4 , el gato, intensse blur and the maxxis! i wans't really inpressed with the wear rate of the maxxis minion tyre (i know for a tyre to be grippy that this genrally this means the tyre will wear out quicker) i was thinking about a michelin comp 24 but am not to sure about the wear rate! (also is quite pricy) i do both street and natty! though im thinking about buyer a pair of supper tacky tyres just for comps? do maxxis do the 60a in a 2 ply casing and has any body tried these? cheers Rich (sorry for another annoying tyre question!) Oh also this is for a leeson clear so no huge tyres :lol: Edited March 29, 2005 by HarshRider Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Si-man Posted March 30, 2005 Report Share Posted March 30, 2005 Mitchelin comp 24's are amazing They were all i used to use when I had a stock. They last ages and are really good for pinch flats I used to get mine from All Terrain Cycles for about £20 each Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
N.Wood Posted March 30, 2005 Report Share Posted March 30, 2005 Michelin's are awesome. However if you want the springyness of the Maxxis, get the Maxxis Minion Maxxpro 60a compund in dual ply - I'm running one at the moment and i have been since about January, and there is NO noticeable wear. It doesn't grip as well as a Michelin or a 42/40a Maxxis on wet wood, but on concrete theres no difference in performance. You can buy them from CRC for the same price as the Super Tacky's. I've never had a pinch with either a Michelin or a Maxxis tyre. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TomN Posted March 30, 2005 Report Share Posted March 30, 2005 Sorry for stealing thread but has anyone tried a Comp 16S, was it any good? compare to a Comp24 I had before. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
N.Wood Posted March 30, 2005 Report Share Posted March 30, 2005 Sorry for stealing thread but has anyone tried a Comp 16S, was it any good? compare to a Comp24 I had before. ← There's very little difference performance wise, but i found the Comp 16 better for muddier comps as the Comp 24's can get a bit clogged up with mud. Other than that i could see no difference. Comp 16's are less common though, for some reason? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheMunn Posted March 30, 2005 Report Share Posted March 30, 2005 This is the best tyre I have used, a little un-known but deffinatly worth a try. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

robonatomz Posted March 30, 2005 Report Share Posted March 30, 2005 i like the fenda kollossal 2.6 stick-e, its the grippyest tryre ever and its duel ply so no pinchflats. allso the kinetics 2.6 stick-e is very grippy and very bouncy but only single ply and i did find pinch flats were a drama! rob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
