Tall_Rob Posted June 6, 2007 Report Share Posted June 6, 2007 If you think about it, if you rode natural on dry, clean surfaces that had sharp edges, you wouldn't need any tread.You would probably get similar grip from the slick compared to a minion/try-allThe tire will form around whatever edge it is gripping to, so sometimes nobles are not essential. Just more versitle.Wouldn't work in mud, gravel, grass or wet.My last boss talked about it lots when i was looking in to a new tire.Rob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

poopipe Posted June 6, 2007 Report Share Posted June 6, 2007 Yer that should be koxx's motto." You get less if you pay alot more " lolbe fair - if you consider the extra manufacturing costs of grinding the tread off the existing tyres it wouldn't be unreasonable to charge a bit extra.

Has anyone seen my shoe? Posted June 6, 2007 Report Share Posted June 6, 2007 Rolling resistance isnt that big a problem is it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tall_Rob Posted June 6, 2007 Report Share Posted June 6, 2007 My last minion got rinsed. It was the 2.5 and looked pretty much the same as the try-all....But i still had loads of grip in the wet/dry and when i did natural aswell.You can still get loads of grip.Great for doing more than 360 spins too..... getting close to 720 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gee™ Posted June 6, 2007 Report Share Posted June 6, 2007 Maybe it's meant for riding to and from places? Other than that i really cant see any use for such a pointless tyre, who with a brain would ride with that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ScotchDave Posted June 6, 2007 Report Share Posted June 6, 2007 smooth tyres are good for going fast.can you explain why a bold tyre as in worn out has little grip on objects........... just slips offWell, on a normal tyre once it look smooth like that you've worn out all the "grippy" rubber and are down to the stiff ungrippy rubber. In this case the top layer is made of "grippy" rubber and is smooth. So there's more "grippy" rubber in contact with any surface you're on, the theory of friction tells us that the more of a substance there is in contact with another surface the more friction there is... So for street this may actually work, doubt it though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mat hudson Posted June 6, 2007 Report Share Posted June 6, 2007 (edited) another warm reception to a new product from tf but seriously just make a tyre with decent sidewall grip and close block centre tread. sketchy sidehops just aint happening with no side nobbles.
