  1. I was wondering if there are any freestyle tires (or flat trials tire)
    that are about the same size as a trials tire. So far the biggest I
    have found is a 2.5 inch tire. Also would I have to get another rim for
    that kind of tire or could I use my DX 32?

    basically I want a trials tire that doesnt stick to my foot when I try
    to glide or one foot wheelwalk.

    No, it does not.

    The DX has a 2.5 Maxxis CC trials tire, and a 19" Alex trials rim. The
    LX has a 2.195" tire.

    I think BMX tires are seldom wider than 2.1 ?
    Many BMX tires are 2.1 though, you won´t have a problem finding one.

  6. Damn that was a smack down of Torker knowledge....anywho....ya, Ive
    never seen a bmx that big...just use a luna they work pretty well for
    street...YOu can still glide on them and they dont wear fast....but you
    do still need to get a 19in rim..

    that looks really nice, the ridges arent huge but its still a trials
    tire. so where do i actualy buy one of these?

    unfortunatly the sticky fingers has rather large ridges which is what i
    am trying to avoid.

    about geting one months ago but I was told thay had thin side walls. I
    realy need a new tire now so let me know how it works.

  11. The widest you can get to fit and not fold freakishly much is the
    Twenty-g tire. Its the 20" version of the hoggy-g 24" tire, it says
    3.4" but its actuly around the width of a fireball which is a tad under
    3.0".
