    will that tyre fit onto a kh freeride 19" trials rim? I know its only
    2.1 and a trials tyre is 2.5 but would it work? :p

  2. It's a 20" tire not a 19" it's made for freestyle I think.. I do not
    think it would work..

    dude, if u want a round tyre get a street tyre like a maxxis hookworm
    or something!!

    Trials tyres arent round and flat because they r made for gripping
    small surfaces and surfaces that need maximum hold, you would fall off
    and slip all over the place with a round flat tyre!!

    Trials tyres are made bulky, so if ur looking for a round trials tyre u
    most likely wont find it, becoz u r looking under the wrong heading!
    look under street or something

    that gusset pink tyre says its grippy, meaning grippy on flat surfaces
    for freestyle, if you looked harder into it, it would tell u that it is
    not recommended for trials.

  7. The maxxis hookworm is still a 20" tire. You aren't going to find a
    super slick trials tire if thats what you are looking for. I know some
    trials tires are alot rounder than others but I am not sure which those
    are. If you wan't a round slick tire then get a 20" bmx rim and put a
    hookworm or twenty g on it. The twenty g is awesome because it is fat
    like a trials tire but it fits 20" rims and is really slick. But you
    probably don't want to rebuild your uni for a new tire...

  8. If your looking for a round trials tire get the Koxx trials tire.

  10. whats wrong with just unig a trials tire for street? anyways you could
    just get a luna or sumthing and trim the nubs off. that should work and
    if it doesnt well then i have no idea unless you kno someone who
    manufactures tires to get them to mold a custom one for you.
