Ben Beckett Posted September 10, 2006 Author Report Share Posted September 10, 2006 i was wondering what the try-all tyres are like......they seem very grippy because in 1 of vincent hermances vids he is riding in the rain gaping to front then back on a wet slippy wall, do you know how long they last for??? because i was told they wear down quick because they are designed for natural. is he right or do i need to give him many slaps!!!thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

max-t Posted September 10, 2006 Report Share Posted September 10, 2006 (edited) michelin comp 24.very grippy and wide,thick sidewalls,very good at resisting punchures...bit weighty of corse.wear rate was good.had one for 6 months.9/10 really good tyre.you can get them from >>>bikedock<<< try all.also grippy.nice soft feel to your wheel when hopping..more of a round profile to it than a flat one.not as much air volume as the michelin but folds very nicely around rails and walls.ok-ish pinch resistanc...i had a few pinches when runnig one.and the wear rate is very quick..they dont last too long for a keen rider.8/10 over all from >>>tarty<<< maxxis high roller.very grippy sticks to everything.available in different compounds.more like the michelin than try all,square profile more than a round profile...makes your feel stable on the back wheel because of its width and air volume.very good at resisting pinches.ive had a pair for 3 months and i havent had one pinch.ive been running the super tacky version (softest one) and the wear rate isnt too good. but they are available in a few different compounds.harder softer etc.definately best tyre out there.so far 9/10 can be purchased from >>>tarty<<< max.....
