echo tires?

[jaimer]

Everyone says that echo tires are poo and i was wondering why, i noticed that craig lee scott rides on them and just wondered why if they are "so bad"?also i would way rather buy those because they are way cheaper then try-all or maxxis creepy crawlers, which is another reason for my question.

[Sir_Crackien]

it memory serves right the echo tires are only a little bit cheaper and the others. go with a tire that you know works well. to be honest thugh i have know clue when it comes to mod tires. i have always heard that the maxxis ones are the best though

[dkoppric]

they are nice for urban, but for natural they arent as sticky

i didnt like them on my mod, never seemed to grip well, and you may as well go for the maxxis since their better, and not much more $$

echo tires are hard witch is ok for dry urban but shitty for anything else. CLS rides pretty much only urban. i have a pair of Creepy Crawlers on my mod and there the best tire i've ever ridden in my life, and they have a nice springy feel. get yourself a set form http://www.thetrialsinshop.com/ or http://hbtrials.com/menu_en.html you won't regret it.

ya i know to get them at hbtrials.com cuz its closest to me, i dont have the 85 dollaz to buy creepycrawlers (they are twice teh price of echos) but what i thought i might do is an echo up front with a creepy crawler in back??

just spend the money. brakes and tires are the 2 things not to skimp on!

i told you so jaime dan and i told you

run the try-alls bald. I can get creepy crawlers at work. No need to ship them from Hugo. The shipping price will get you. And i can obviously get a better price.

U could prolly get away with running the echos if you wanted too but i think i might be able to get the Mxxis for cheaper. Ill find out Sat.

i knew they were total shit because i'd tried them before, but i borrowed a mod with them on and was totally surprised how shit they were. i nearly fell off because they rolled over on my slightly sloped driveway as soon as i got on and pivoted about a bit.

they are shittier than shit. buy some creepys.
