gary-mac Posted May 17, 2011 Report Share Posted May 17, 2011 (edited) As title says, Am using conti tyres at the moment and find them great!! But it looks like the conti trial king is now no more and the supersonic i find is no good up front. I like to keep tyre makes the same front and rear so whats good out there which has the stability of a der kaiser on rear and lite and grippy upfront, Maxxis, try-all etc. cheers peeps.

CalopS Posted May 17, 2011 Report Share Posted May 17, 2011 I've got a Try-all (older version, not the new lite) on the front and a der keiser on the back and it seems to be a good combo! Not tried much else though. Only recently switched to stock! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

J.KYDD Posted May 17, 2011 Report Share Posted May 17, 2011 Try-All stick lite rear, with a Shift up front. Sweeeeet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CalopS Posted May 17, 2011 Report Share Posted May 17, 2011 I think you mentioned at the comp you pretty much only rode natty because of where you live? So it might be worth thinking about having try-all lite front and back. good mud shedding properties which will be good with you been from scotland Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a try-all rear lite and front sticky in shed but havn't used them, maybe i should try them out. whats the maxxis tyres like?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
casualjoe Posted May 17, 2011 Report Share Posted May 17, 2011 I have a try-all rear lite and front sticky in shed but havn't used them. That's the best matching combo if you don't wanna run a der kaiser on the back, mis matched tyres arn't a problem in trials though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dave33 Posted May 19, 2011 Report Share Posted May 19, 2011 i think i saw you at lee mill on sunday, thoses rocks are pretty slippy with any tyre but i noticed you had a nice conti on front.. maybe the rocks made you think that you needed new tyres ?? the best all round tyres out there are the try-alls thats what i had on if you seen my bike. they are really light, give really good amount of spring and are pretty punture resistant. the front is a bit thinner..(about the same as your front conti) so people who tent to pinch alot might consider getting the last years front as they are a bit thicker hope that helps Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So i was just wondering are there any other really good natty bashing tyres out there, i have try-all lite tyres in shed but am yet to try them out. I was hoping there might be another model of conti tyre thats good up front? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gage-mann Posted May 20, 2011 Report Share Posted May 20, 2011 Get front and rear Michelin's they seems to be not to light but not to heavy in my eyes and the compounds actually meant to be alright, or just run rear kasier for best grip with front try-all and if your so bothered about a name on the side of a tire just rub it off so its blank?

craigjames Posted May 20, 2011 Report Share Posted May 20, 2011 Get those TryAlls on there, I've loved mine since I've got it, very impressed. Excellent grip, good puncture resistance, pretty bouncy and reasonable weight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jambo Posted May 20, 2011 Report Share Posted May 20, 2011 This tyre looks interesting. Would be interested if anyone gets to see this in the flesh for either my trials bike or trail bike. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
