watto Posted August 10, 2006 Report Share Posted August 10, 2006 Why do you think everybody is getting high rollers ? Maybe because their good tyres, well if you want to be different, look at the michelin comp and hot s tyres their pretty good, i used to run a comp24 and it was really grippy and held to most things well.

nafan Posted August 10, 2006 Report Share Posted August 10, 2006 Maxxis tyres are great and normally quite cheap, you may need around £40 for a decent pair though, check some out at chainreactionNathan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Companys that aren't usually related to Trials. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tommy d Posted August 10, 2006 Report Share Posted August 10, 2006 Maxxis MINION dh Michelin Comp24Michelin Wildgripper hot s I've recently got a Minion (60a compound) for the back and it's great I have a Michelin Wildgripper Hot S on the front, it's nice and light and doesn't wear down too quickly, but I would just warn that it doesn't seem to have a lot of grip Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

paolo Posted August 10, 2006 Report Share Posted August 10, 2006 You might also want to take a look at the tioaga Team DH, they also come front/rear, so you could have a matching set . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
