Alternatives to GAzz

What? Has that tyre been discontinued as well? Shocking! That was/is the
most direct competitor to the Gazz 24 x 3, I think. Is it also
discontinued in its guise as Halo Contra Identiti?

I've got a Halo Contra on mine. It came on my UDC max traction from UDC
UK.

As I've not really ridden many other 24x3 tyres that much then I can't
really comment on how it compares. It does roll over things so well.
Very impressed with it.

Gazz 26" x 2.6", for extra air off jumps and higher speed on the trails.
Okay you need to upgrade your rim, spokes etc. but 26" tyres are much
easier to get and less likely to be discontinued.

There is a list of ty/ires on 'http://wobbling.unicyclist.com'
(http://wobbling.unicyclist.com/Components/Tyres24.html), it is a bit
dated and dont know if they all exist still.

I great alternative to the Gazz3.0 if you really love the Gazzi's is
simply to go with a Gazz 24x2.6..........I promise you won't notice the
difference (other than shedding some weight).

i disagree that you won't notice the 24x2.6 difference. i ride that and
i notice a huge difference when i step up to a 24x3. much more
cushioning on landings, better spring on hops, slightly better traction
basically everywhere. it's a good alternative, but it isn't the same.

You missed an important entry--the Intense 24x3.0 DH tire. I ride a 2002
model with comp 60 tread. They are equal to or better than the gazz (in
my opinion, of course) in every respect except skinny riding, in which
they are slightly deficient.

What is it that you like about the Intense tire compared to the Gazz?
Is it better turning? Better traction? Better bounce? Better cush?

How wide is it when mounted on the rim?
The Gazz 24x3 comes to 70mm (2.75"😉 for the outside casing width
(ignoring the knobs) when mounted on a DX32 rim.

Yes, but there is no 24x3 Gazzaloddi listed:
'DH tire specs' (http://www.suomityres.fi/bike/dhspecs/index.htm)
They've got the 26x3 and 24x2.6 but no 24x3.

Did you read the specs????
The only 24" tire listed is the 24 x 2.6 Gazzaloddi Jr.
There was NOT a 24 x 3 tire on their website😕 😉

You have to remember that dh is all about getting down the mountain the
fastest. so using a 26" tire is better than a 24" because you are able
to role over verything easier thats why
