nb88 Posted January 14, 2006 Report Share Posted January 14, 2006 I need new tyres and ive never bought 26" ones before (only just gone stock). I'm after some high roller or minions i think, judging from other peoples opinions. Been on CRC and found super tacky 42a and slow reezay 40a. I want them to last as long as possible, is there much difference between both styles? And also would you recommend high roller or maxxis for rear?Oh, and would a 2.7 tyre fit in an echo control '04?Cheers! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Booth Posted January 14, 2006 Report Share Posted January 14, 2006 To be fair a 2.7 is abit over kill Just get front and back maxxis minion super tacky's Had mine about 3 weeks and no signs of wear (i know that isnt exactly amazing, but meh. I usually get a rear maxxis lasting about 6 months. Ive also heard good things about michelin comp 24's for the wear rate and grip compromise Tom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JonCongreve Posted January 14, 2006 Report Share Posted January 14, 2006 I have a Schwalbe Big Betty 2.4" in my Echo Conrol '04, and was suprised how little tire clearance there was. I think i 2.7" is probably too big, and a 2.5" should fit alright Hope this helps,Jon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tomm Posted January 14, 2006 Report Share Posted January 14, 2006 Super Tacky (42a) seem to last fine and grip very well, and I have heard that the 40a wear out much quicker. Just make sure you get the dual ply for the back. And as Tom said, 2.7 is probably overkill. I had one on my 24" and it folded all the time, though that was on a pretty narrow rim (32mm or something). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Impacted. Posted January 14, 2006 Report Share Posted January 14, 2006 (edited) Meh I say get some highroller 60a, I've had 60a maxxpro and 42a super tackys but to be honest I didn't notice any difference in grip and the maxxpros lasted a bit longer but not that much really (1 months and a bit). I wouldn't go for a 2.7 'cos a 26" quite dense compound, 2 ply 2.7 is gonna be heavy, like 1.5 Kgs or something. Get a 2.5. Edited January 14, 2006 by Impacted.
