  3. about the same I guess my luna bounces better, but I thought of changing
    it because my maxxis is starting to crack really bad, so should I just
    wait till it blows or switch the tires

  5. Trials tires are all about what you enjoy, there is no such thing as the
    perfect one. Everyone has their own preference. I personaly love the
    way the Luna acts under low pressure, but I hate how its not very
    grippy. I choose the luna over the CC though just because its what I
    have now and its what I'm used to.

  10. I think my friend has a luna. If that's what comes on a summit. But I
    have the CC and I like better than his tire. But it may just be that I
    like my new kh instead of his summit.😕

  11. Summits come with a CC.

    Kh comes with a CC.

    His is probably older and more worn.

    I ride a CC, has great grip, people says it wears fast, I guess its
    true, but ive been running mine for about 10 months now. Still works as
    good as the day I bought it.

    Really? Hmm, my friends Summit came with a CC, I guess whoever had it
    last switched it over form the Luna then.

    My mistake.

  15. I think the Creepy Crawler is a good tire, I would like it more if I had
    a wider rim... but it's very hard to find a 48h rim that is wider than
    a DX32.

  17. Having ridden both id say that my preference is for the Luna...Ive
    noticed that the Luna seems to have thicker sidewals and that it seems
    to wear alot slower than the Maxxis for urban riding. That being said,
    you cant beat the Maxxis when it comes to natural Trials in the woods,
    the tackier compound of the Maxxis gives it a bit of a better grip on
    things like logs and mossy rocks.

    So i guess it really depends on where you ride and what style you
    ride...

  19. It's looking like the Luna isn't as grippy (really) and the CC wears
    down fast. I know from experience that the Luna is quite solid and hard
    whereas the CC is fairly soft.

    From here it's down to what-you-use-it-for. I think from now you've got
    to just disregard what other people like and make up you own mind.

    If you're going to do lots of natural trials riding that need very
    grippy tyres: *Go for the CC.*
    If you're going to do lots of urban street riding that just needs tough
    tyres that dont need to be grippy as much: *Go the the Luna.

    *Someone please feel free to call BS on me though. Isn't there a HUGE
    thread "Maxis Vs. Luna" somewhere with Ryan Atkins' views? He knows
    Hugely more than me so find that!
