dann2707 Posted September 12, 2012 Report Share Posted September 12, 2012 Aren't those echo tyres super hard compound. Better off going with a creeper crawler ont rear and a small block 8 on the front. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
williams Posted September 12, 2012 Report Share Posted September 12, 2012 Yeah I've heard that the echo ones are really hard, go for the monty on the rear and a small block 8 or creepy crawler on front! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alistair14 Posted September 12, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 12, 2012 Is that a bad thing they're hard? I know a softer tyre is better, but is a hard compound ok? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shercofray Posted September 12, 2012 Report Share Posted September 12, 2012 Is that a bad thing they're hard? I know a softer tyre is better, but is a hard compound ok? Basically means less grip but wears slower.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
isitafox Posted September 12, 2012 Report Share Posted September 12, 2012 If your purely a TGS man I'd go for a small block 8 on the front and splash out the extra £2.57 to get a creepy crawler at the back Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

D Rock 45 Posted September 12, 2012 Report Share Posted September 12, 2012 (edited) Having run a maxxi and just swaped to an echo id say for TGS go for the echo tyres, they are perfect for street if you thats all you ride. Oh yeah and the kenda small block on the front as people have said Edited September 12, 2012 by D Rock 45 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the mysterious leemur Posted September 12, 2012 Report Share Posted September 12, 2012 Worst tyres ever. You'd be better off using just bare tubes to be honest , have barely any grip , slip like mad on every surface and the slightest bit of moisture will make it feel like your on an ice rink , awful bounce and I had about 6 pinch flats in about a week with a kenda dh tube ... that's pretty hard. Maxxis all the way 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
