Qu-Ax tire



Hi Robbo! As far as I know you can't really go wrong with tyres -they'll
all pretty much cope with a lot of abuse.

If you really want to spend some money on improving your uni you might
want to consider buying a new tyre but it will only make your ride
slightly lighter.

Hope this helps

The maxxis is much worse with folding on sidehops, Luna hardly folds at
all. I don't notice much differance with the grip either. I think the
only advantage of the maxxis is that it's lighter.

Well, as far as the hopping goes, any tire will pretty much do. If you
think of yourself as a 75kg person, 200 grams more or less on your tire
won't make a difference. Also, I have the 'standard' (Qu-ax supplies
20" trial uni's with both Lunas and Maxxis CCs) Maxxis tire, and can
jump 29" pretty good. Thanks for the extra 4 odd inches in stable jump
height go to Ryan Atkins for a few pointers on my technique ;)
