  1. Well my CC is wearing down and pretty soon I have to get a new tyre. So
    what's good for street? I'm looking at the try all and the monty
    trials. I tried a luna and it felt weird, and it was pretty narrow
    for 2.5". I'd make a poll but I don't want to make poor ol' harper
    mad😉

    Really? My friend has a Luna on a Norco M-Uni 20" and it's pretty fat
    looking to me, but I have never seen a Creepy Crawler in person...

    He has a Kenda Kinetics 20x2.6 on the front rim of his bike, that tire
    is quite a bit skinnier.

  3. the monty 2.5 is good if you can find it. and it lasts for ever
    try all is supposed to be really gripy which it means it will wear down
    fast
    maxis cc is probably best for trials
    luna is the best for street and it is my preference for trials

    their are 2 types of unicyclist. ones who can suck it up and go for
    things and ones who can't. guess which ones become good?

  4. Monty makes a 2.6 and 2.7 tire now too. I like the luna, it lasts a lot
    longer than the soft compound tires.

  5. Id get a luna for street. It doesnt wear down as fast and is a good
    stable tire for run ups to lines.

  6. Wow, I have had my CC for about 7-8 months now. Its getting bald, and I
    have roated it pretty frequently, so its bald all around, but it has
    plenty grip left.

  7. Whats wrong with a worn tire? I thought the xavier tire was the big rave
    now. Just keep rotating it and get it slicked out.

  8. My lbs has a monty trials 2.6 and it looks nice. I think I might get it
    when mines toast and yes I have been rotating it. I rotate every
    week.
    Evan, I havn't heard of xaviers slicked tyre😕 Does he ride
    street with it? or is it just a novelty thing?

  10. I've been using my trials uni with the maxxis creepy crawler tire for
    street riding. I dont really want to wear it down to nothing. I'd
    like to preserve it's tread for trials riding.

    Is there a smooth 20x2.2 or wider tire i can buy and put on my trials
    uni to use for street riding? Is there such a tire made?

    No. You have a mod 19" rim so only mod tires will fit. For street
    riding I think an actual 20" rim is better because you have hundreds of
    tire choices instead of the 5 or whatever we have now for trials rims.

  12. I like the Luna just fine. It's better for street, smoother and rolls
    better. But the Maxxis is better for trials.

  13. I've never had to buy a replacement trials tire for my kh, so I have no
    idea where to get a Luna. I tried udc, danscomp, webcyclery.

    Where do I get a Luna? I tried one a few weeks back, and it was so much
    better than my CC.

    I am not sure.

    My CC is completly bald in the middle around the whole tire, but has
    some knobs left on the side. I still grip like crazy, but it rides
    really smooth. =p

  18. a slick tyre would have more grip on flat concrete/tar

    i imagine if you hopped and landed on the edge of something though, a
    slick would slip and a knobby tyre would catch

    Not true for me in a lot of cases.

    I think it has a lot more to do with the rubber compound then the
    actual tread of a tire.
