it depends what you want, maximum grip or wear life

Maximum grip = tryall

wear life = creepy crawlers

Creepy Crawlers all the way mate. last for a long time and keep on gripping!!!

^ Nope, all completely wrong.

Creepy Crawlers have a grippier compound, which is FACT. I remember being told of some UCI world champs, where the Monty riders on their Creepy Crawlers were gripping on the wet rocks better than the Koxx riders who had Try-Alls. In practice, I know for sure that Creepy Crawlers are a tad grippier than Try-All. But, try-all are extremely grippy still.

Other than that, whoever said Creepy Crawlers last ages is talking out of their backside . They are notorious for pinch punctures and wearing out faster than most tyres. However the grip and bounce of Creepys is so great. Try-All has stiffer sidewalls meaning more pinch resistant and is also extremely bouncy.

It's up to you really. if you can afford it, go for Try-All. If not, Maxxis is the best value for money option.

OR: Consider this option: The Monty Eagle Claw: in short, these are like Creepy Crawlers and even though they are stated as 20x.2.6 they are actually the same width as Creepy Crawlers in real life, which is a good thing. They have similar grip and are the bounciest tyres (as proven by one of the best trials unicyclists in the world who's used virtually every single mod tyre that's ever existed). The pinch resistant is incredible too, just ask Andrew Chai about how much more he prefers Eagle Claws over Creepy Crawlers! So yeah, Eagle Claws are in short: better Creepy Crawlers.

Lastly, don't even consider the Echo tyre. It is very dull feeling in comparison to other tyres due to the extra thick sidewalls and general construction. Some people absolutely adore it, but for riders who are still learning it is not too great a tyre because only very good riders seem to be able to get the most out of Echo tyres (low pressure, but extreme risk of rimming out). They are exactly the same as the Onza Sticky Fingers tyres if you look at them together (no, seriously they are except for the centre colour of Onza tyres).

I'd say go for the Eagle Claw. If you can't afford it, then Creepy Crawler for sure.

Go for maxxis High roller dual ply for the back and single ply for the front

I'd go with creepy crawlers, because they're half the price and just as good.

No, maybe he just likes riding learner bikes though

thanks guys. But 2 'Krisboats', my creepies have been going 4 well over 7 months & i think they've got a bit of life in them yet. I'm hoping 2 get @ least 10 months out of them.

BTW, ignore the top quote.
