Title: Tyre Advice??
Post by: Radical Mick on February 20, 2013, 02:16 PM: Getting myself a pair of Primo V-Monsters.

Should i go for a 2.1 up front with a 1.95 rear or keep the same front and back.

Any advantages/reasons for one over the other?

Will be used for all round riding nothing too specific.

there ok if your gonna be running 65psi but if you like running 90-100psi like me then they are no good :daumenhoch:

:daumenhoch: It was You I was thinking of Kev, I wonder if the sidewall has been changed for some reason, used to run way over 65psi in the older versions?

Post by: kev-s on February 20, 2013, 11:36 PM: yeah i think the sidewalls have been changed, when i compared the new ones to my originals the sidewalls on the og ones seemed thicker and they seemed to be a bit different in texture/colour
