Trials Tire

I'm looking for a new tire for my trials uni because my current Monty
tire is getting pretty worn out. Can anyone give me a
side-to-side comparison of different tires? What seems to be working for
your trials uni? Thanks.

Just go witht he Luna. Slight changes in compund and tread are the only
real differences. The monty had different sidewall strengths, but I hear
they're no longer made.

I have a Luna and its held/holding up pretty well, but I have no other
experience with trials tires. I got it in April I think. Does any one
know the differences between the Creepy Crawler and the Luna? They look
like they have the same tread pattern but I can only tell from movies
and pictures. Is there any thing else beyond the name and price?

The creepy cralwer is made of some new,high-tech rubber.But i think it
dwears down a lot faster.there was a thread a while back.

Some of the guys with new KH Trials probably have ridden on the luna and
the now equipped maxxis tire.

*Waiting for someone to chime in*

Yeah the Maxxis Creepy Crawler has a significantly softer compound so it
will wear down faster. On the other hand, it's FAR less expensive than
a Monty and may well grip better on some surfaces. I think it would be
a good tyre for urban (or just generally man-made) stuff.

I would think the contrary. I think the softer compound would be used on
natty, since thats where you need the grip and also where there are less
abrasive sections. The Luna wears relatively slow compared to all the
other tires out there, and seems to grip just as well IMO. I'll be
sticking with the Luna, although my new mod will be coming with echos,
so I may give those a shot.

There is also a Try All Tyre available at municycle.com, it seems to
have a differant tread pattern, to most trials tyres, - more of a
mountain bike tread pattern.

anyone used one of these?

I haven't ridden with a Creepy Crawler (although I plan to get one soon)
but I have seen one on a trials bike and I just got that impression from
the feel of it. I can't explain why but it felt like it would stick
well to concrete and metal surfaces. I will try it out for myself
though. Maybe I'll try to pick one up tomorrow. Remind me to do so.
