Mr_Clean Posted December 29, 2005 Report Share Posted December 29, 2005 Hi.while i was out today (in the freezing weather and snow) I was slipping around like greased up eel. I was thinking that rally drivers get extra grip when in in ice and snow they use metal spike in there tyer's.So i was wondering has anyone brought out a trials specific tyer ??Would it give the bike the feel of a drys day riding or would it make it feel heavy and sluggish.Just wondering what your thoughts are.

Ali C Posted December 29, 2005 Report Share Posted December 29, 2005 if your riding deepish snow then your best bet is a mud specific tyre, one with long widly spaced knobbles.If your riding ice then you want a studded tyre, nokian make these but you can also make them yourself by screwing screws through your tyre.not really worth doing if we only really get a few days of snow a year, but if you ride wooden objects a ot, then I recken studded tyres would be ace, but really crap on rocks and metal.

bambi_3 Posted December 29, 2005 Report Share Posted December 29, 2005 I might just put some screws into some old tyres and ride on them for a while to see what its like,because it always seems to rain and everything near my house is wooden cheers guyssi.

Ross Gardner Posted December 29, 2005 Report Share Posted December 29, 2005 (edited) i have a pair of maxxis creppy crawler, grippiest tyres out but the spacing on the tyre is sooo wide so it clogs up loads of mud, if i was wanting good tyres for snowy conditions i would get try all, quite expensive but worth it, best natural tyres out Cherz Ross Edited December 29, 2005 by gawk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
