ok so im getting a mountain b*ke and i want to convert my MUni to a trials/street machine. Im thinking about putting a fireball tire on my torker Dx 24" what does everyone think about that. Any other suggestions are welcome.
Good idea. A 24 with fireball is a good change of pace uni. Keep the tire pressure high for street and lower for trials. Make sure you keep your muni tire around though!

I just use my muni tire for trials and street, it works fine. when it gets worn out it still works, so I don't think that's a huge deal...
If anybody thinks I should be using a diff. tire, tell me. I'd be interested in what would be comparable. I'm pretty sure I wouldn't like a fireball at all though, seems like it would be not so bouncy, and I like trials-style tires.
Do not get the fireball, from what I've read its rather heavy and does not bounce well. I highly recommend the maxxis hookworm 2.5" tire. I ride the hookworm and it works very well for both trials and street riding. It's pretty light and bounces really well.
