    Trials and street riders: Consider the Try-All "Rotation," 20 X 2.5
    inch, fits 19 inch trials rim (standard). Incredible rebound qualities
    for preloading and prehops, and the "sticky rubber" grabs like a
    climbing shoe. Uses a cleated pattern tred (like found on
    mountaineering boots) as opposed to the dot matrix tred on Monty and
    Luna tires.

    Little pricey at 50 bucks (including shipping), and a little hard to
    find in stock, but it blows away the Monty I had on my KH 24.

    Yoggi at Koxx-One uses one. I think it is the same tyre you are talking
    about.

    He will be selling them, but his site is still under construction...

    Joe,

    I just got one the other day. Rides great.
    Pros
    sticky compound
    flatter tread print (not as round as Luna) easier to balance on
    Stiffer sidewalls
    can run less psi

    Cons
    1/8 of an inch more narrow
    more expensive

    ????
    wear Could go quick or slow
    only time will tell

    Where to get one?
    www.webcyclery.com
    they also have pictures

    The exact web link for said tire is:

    http://tinyurl.com/5p9xt

    The 35$ list price is for the 20 X 2" model. Trials riders will want
    the 20 X 2 1/2 incher, which runs 10 bucks more. Throw in shipping and
    it's around 55 bucks deliverd to your crib.

    The tire is made in Taiwan but is distributed through France -- need I
    say more about availability? Unicycle.com and Bedford might do well to
    start stocking these since the Monty is basically not made anymore, and
    the Luna is a far lesser tire than the try-all.

    Incidentally, "sticky rubber" technology was first developed by Charles
    Cole of 5.10 company (rock climbing shoes), and the "rubber" is quite
    durable. It's also not rubber at all, rather a petrolium-based
    synthetic.

    I had always heard the softer/stickier tire compounds always wore alot
    faster. Is this wrong, or depending on the situation?

    Maxwell, et al:

    My understanding from my buddy who designs climbing shoes is that
    "sticky" does not necessarily mean soft. Relative hardness in synthetic
    rubber is measured by a measurement called "durometer," and the
    durometer of the stickier climbing soles is pretty high – meaning the
    friction coefficient is not entirely determined by the durometer
    (hardness). I do know the best sticky climbing shoes wear as well as the
    old hard ones, and perform much better.

    But who knows with the try-all tire. Doesn't seem to be real soft, but
    it's the first one I've tried so durability is still a question. I
    don't much care if it wears out a bit faster so long as it gives me a
    slight edge.

    Yeah, I've got an echo. It's noticeably smaller than a monty of luna,
    but seemed to preform somewhat similar. It did seem to develop a bulge
    after ~10-15 hours of use. Unfortunately, that's about all I was able
    to use it.
