|   Max tire size for NRS1 and tire choice | Bryan MT
Mar 27, 2003 9:35 PM | | I'm considering the hutchinson scorpians to replace my pythons. I, however, saw that continental makes a UST version of the vertical pro with a 2.3 size. I thought that since I do more trail riding with samll to medium jumps/drops the larger size would better suit me. I also read the review and it seems that while they're marked 2.3 they act more like 2.2. or 2.1. ANy suggestions or other reccomended tires. I live in the rockies so most of the trails are dry and rochy. ALso, Here in MOntana there is a lot of reck, almost like Moab slickrock, but a little different. |
| Tyre Choice: | TM
Mar 27, 2003 11:01 PM | | Scorpions and Pythons are two very different tyres.
Python = Dry Condition
Scorpion = very wet/muddy conditions only. Offers 0 confidence on dry stuff (Can feel very nasty)
A 2.0 Scorpion comes out more like a 2.1 because of the side knobs.
Rode with my Scorpion Gold Elites the other day; Sweet in Wet conditions but shite in anything dry!
Dang I have posted this image a 1000 times but heck here you go: |
