OK, maybe sharpen the edges and sipe the tread with the tread doctor "sniper" head as the tire wears. Don't think I'll ever go back to a trials tire. But now I might try your tire next, thx for posting

I ran a trials tire for a long time and really liked them, but as my skills improved and I started riding a bit faster I really had no confidence in turns leaned over. I also was starting to get a little braver, faster downhill and really hated the trials lack of stopping power.
But what was the real clincher was when Tayler Roberts trainer said my bike looked "gay" with the trials tire. That did it! Got me thinking about why I buy tires. And I decided it was for performance and not how long they last......ok, ok they have to last for more then a ride.......?
