GTF Posted December 29, 2006 Report Share Posted December 29, 2006 A 2.5" tyre will be much more stable than a 2.25", so I would recomend you to get a 2.5" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrOcKeR Posted December 29, 2006 Report Share Posted December 29, 2006 (edited) 2.5 it gives better control on back wheel.Little bit more weight but nothign to complain about.mike Edited December 29, 2006 by CrOcKeR Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Lowe Posted December 29, 2006 Report Share Posted December 29, 2006 I always go for the largest I can get in the frame, the larger the tyre you have the lower the psi I you can run, this will help with giving you a little extra spring and more grip.

Drew92 Posted December 29, 2006 Report Share Posted December 29, 2006 Go for the 2.5 mate. It will definatly be better and it won't add a lot of wight, you won't even notice the extra weight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CrOcKeR Posted December 29, 2006 Report Share Posted December 29, 2006 i've always liked the maxxis creepy crawlers about £15-£18 a tyre so not that bad. I'd go for them or maybe a try-all but they cost a bit more Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dan the trials man Posted December 29, 2006 Report Share Posted December 29, 2006 HiI agree with every one else go for the 2.50, what ones well i think the maxxis creepy crawlers are excellent but the try-all tyres are also superb.Hope it helpsDanAlso i would like to apologies for any spelling due to my spell checker is not working, any tips on how to get it working.

I-LUV-TRIALS Posted December 29, 2006 Report Share Posted December 29, 2006 (edited) Go for the try-all tyre, my mate is runing them on his bike and he runs about 8psi in the rear and has never had a puncture . well worth the extra money mate Edited December 29, 2006 by I-LUV-TRIALS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

taylor1991 Posted January 1, 2007 Report Share Posted January 1, 2007 2.50 will be much more stable and i think you should get the Maxxis Creepy Crawlers. Sam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ali C Posted January 1, 2007 Report Share Posted January 1, 2007 if you are using a 2.25" then I presume you are using a 20" wheel (rather than 19") if this is true then you cant use any of the tyres people are reccomending, I think 2.25" could be the largest you can get.Another point, dont go for the largest tyre you can get if you are using a thin rim, the tyre fold you would get would be a nightmare.

Captain Scarlet Posted January 1, 2007 Report Share Posted January 1, 2007 Well I am running a 2.4" on a 20" and no problems there.If you have a 19" wheel, then Creepy Crawlers ***!!.If not, then just get yourself a rear sticky finger tyre.

Ali C Posted January 1, 2007 Report Share Posted January 1, 2007 once you go and ride off camber rocks with a low pressure, you will get serious tyre foldage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
