    I have a cheapo 20" unicycle. It came with a 20x2.0 tyre
    with a psi-rating of 35 psi. I would like a better freestyle
    tyre, that is gym-proof. Any good suggestions. I have tried
    my LBS for Primo The Wall and Maxxis Hookworm, he had
    neither of them. Any other would be great.

    I only need it for freestyle now that my new KH24 will soon
    be here. Can't wait.

    I live in Norway, and I forgot to put it in my order for my
    KH24 so the price for shipping will be larger than the
    actuall cost of the tyre. I'll just have to keep looking

    Well, you could try to talk to bmx-norway.tkbmx-norway.tk

    Or order from Roger Davies: The shipping cost calculator at
    Unicycle.UK.com says that shipping a Primo The Wall from UK
    to Norway costs £6.

    For indoors, you basically want a tire without knobbies,
    and not black. Some black tires are fine, but most will
    make too many marks. Look for a tire that is round or flat
    where it contacts the ground. Avoid tires that have a
    center ridge or point.

    Even a tire marked 35 psi can probably be pumped up to good
    unicycling levels. We used to do it all the time. Just make
    sure the tire is properly seated on the rim.
