  1. I mostly ride street on a 24" qu-ax.
    My stock tyre is going bald and will be so in a few weeks or a month.
    I'm thinking of getting a new tyre.
    I'm considering three options:
    'Wildelife Duro' (http://tinyurl.com/ylzpxf) - the one I have now. I'm
    pretty happy with it, but I've never tried anything else.
    'Dyno Fireball' (http://tinyurl.com/vj44m) - looks cool, but costs
    twice as much. Some people reported having problems with it.
    'Hookworm' (http://tinyurl.com/yjqd8d) - seems like a cool tyre, but
    it's 2.5". Would it fit on my rim? Wouldn't it be better to pay a bit
    more and go for the Fireball if I want a slick tyre?

    I mostly ride on concrete and asphalt and I do a lot of hopping and
    freestyle.
    Also, are 'these' (http://tinyurl.com/y23rlq) good pedals for street?

  4. I think I'll get Fireball. Seems like a few extra euros is worth the
    looks. Plus, it says, it's for urban trials, which is what I do half of
    the time.

  5. I have a fireball, and I really hate it. The sidewalls are like paper
    thin, and I instantly got a pinch flat from a side hop. I wasn't even
    using low pressure either, it was at like 40 psi. I prefer my old worn
    out duro tire much more than this one.
