Anyone have experience with this tyre? Supposedly knobby pattern on a trials type tubeless carcass. Developed specificaly for freeriding, LDT or Trail Bike Trials?

Gt 257 Trial Hybrid is a Tube Type tire designed for Freeriding and mountain riding. Compared to the Gt 256 Trialera it has a new knob design and a compound that guarantees greater durability. It combines the traction qualities of a Trial tyre with the self-cleaning features of an Enduro tyre. Use of Goldentyre Mousse 120/80-18 is recommended with the Hybrid as it maintains grip features on any terrain without risking punctures or cuts that cannot be repaired immediately

Have seen 1 of those tyres at the local Beta importers, wasn't fitted to a wheel but I'm picking it was for the enduro in the garage at the time. Will ask him how it went

Is this the tyre Graham Jarvis runs for Extreme Enduros?

Interesting idea. I doubt Jarvis or any top rider runs it. Not enough contact area(Too much of a radius) means less traction. Be interesting what does develop in the enduro cross world. Could trials do similar? I remember at Daytona 200 (1982) I watched with a grin as they had a trials race in the infield! It was good entertainment. The best obstacles were Phillips 66 Balls (like logs) and the handlebar banging on the car was awesome.
