January 2, 200818 yr has anyone every tried a moto-x tyre on a trials bike? as the nobbles on a trials tyre are so close together, when its muddy, they are just like a slick, where as moto-x tyres have bigger nobbles, and they are futher apart, so they tend not to get caked with mud as much......... they are also
January 2, 200818 yr More to the point, they are illegal for trials competition. There are strict regulations as to the tread pattern that can be used. If I am not mistaken this is shown in the ACU handbook
January 2, 200818 yr Trials tyres grip well on rock surfaces and they don't foul the swing arm..but I know what you mean about prices!
January 2, 200818 yr Knobby tyres are terrible on anything that has hard surfaces like rocks and logs.

January 2, 200818 yr if you look at the vegas endurocross pictures you will see that even the enduro boys have trials tyres on.
January 2, 200818 yr Could be similar to 'why long distance runners don't use pushbikes', notice also got a blade...gillette or wilkinson Edited January 2, 200818 yr by ask greeves
January 2, 200818 yr What about those spikey jobs from Ice Speedway, they'd be really good over big logs!

January 2, 200818 yr They are all ganging up on you!! Maybe we should try it out??? should be a laugh anyway !!
January 2, 200818 yr my first trials bike was a ty250 that i used for gathering sheep on the fells (on my dads farm in lancashire) where the quad couldnt get. i put a spikey front tyre on because the front wheel was always slipping away on hill sides. it was great for wet grass and mud but awful on anything else.
