Default 3in. trials tire?


I was wondering if there are any 3" wide trials tires out there. Seems
like if there are they would be good except for the heaviness factor.

before, search and you should find something about it.

But seriously, there is a Monty 2.9" trials tyre. Not many people have
tried it yet. But then if 3" is good why wouldn't 3.5" be better? You
have to draw the line somewhere, other factors come in to play, weight
being one of them.

Its a 2.7, and a nominal 2.7 at that.

Nominal?

According to the metric sizes (which are often a more reliable way of
comparing tires) on the 'UDC tire chart'
(http://www.unicycle.co.uk/tyretable.html) it is 6mm bigger than the
Koxx Try-all tire.

According to google 0.2 inches is 5mm.
