    The fattest one that will fit your rim and frame. A monty or
    Luna is good if you have a 19 inch rim.

    No, its just tire. Does england have a seperate dictionary
    or is TYRE slang?

    Thinuniking: Try the monty whiteline, it's got a slightly
    rounder profile. Or tryall makes a 19" tire witha different
    tread. ww.tryall.com ?

    The fattest you cna fit on a 20" is aq 2.125 knobby. Any BMX
    tire will work.

    This reminds me of a friend of mine who was in Japan. She
    met some U.S. Marines and one of them asked where she came
    from. So she says England, to which he replies, "oh yes,
    what language do they speak there?".

    Blush.:o When we decided not to have a king, we gave up the
    King's English and so made our own english. 😄 I read
    somewhere that one of the reasons Dan Webster spelled things
    differently (not the only reason, by far, but one of them)
    was to seperate the two countries languages.

    Not certain, but seeing as no-one's answered the original
    question, the max daddy 'here' (tinyurl.com3xgv7)
    looks alright, fits on a standard 20" rim (ie not a 19"
    trials rim), and isn't too big to fit in most frames. having
    said that there are uite a few 20" tyres, so if you want a
    big tyre it might be worth going to a bike shop and having a
    look. Ben - I've looked for different tyres for trials tyres
    and I can't find anything different. I want a slick tyre,
    but I don't think it exists.

    Um, you should have checked "our" 'dictionary'
    (dictionary.reference.comsearch) first.
