  1. I was wondering what makes a freestyle tire better than a thicker fat
    tire? is there anything better about them? or should i just use my muni
    for freestyle and save myself alot of money.

  2. the difference is weight...the tire on your norco muni is a lot heavier
    than a freestyle tire... but yes you can adapt to doing freestyle on
    your muni..

    p.s. for clarification only the norco muni is more of a trials than
    anything minus the splined hub it would have.

    You can't get up and try it again if you don't fall first.

  3. i think a skinnier freestyle tire is better because it can whip around
    easier adn turn alot easier and better. A thick tire is mushy and takes
    more to turn and whip around. But i think you should just keep ur Muni
    because i use my Muni for absolutley everything and it is great!

  4. The high pressure narrow tires (see - primo 'the wall'😉 are for doing
    tight turns and spins. They also offer very little rolling resistance
    and look cool. :P

    If my MUni (duro wildlife) is a tractor, then my freestyle (primo 'the
    wall' 1.85) is a panther. I'm also quite used to the high pressure tire
    by now, and god knows I could never do a pirouette on my muni.

    Quite ironic, when its full name is the Duro Wildlife Leopard.
