Today my family was all out celebrating earth day. With our throttle! My wife's idea. Gotta love it.
Anyway, more confirmation on the trials tire. There's one creek crossing with a particularly steep hill right out of it that climbs for quite a ways. Near the creek there are lots of rocks and tree roots, which the wet trials tire just grips and grabs. After grinding through that though, the hill is just perfect garden loam with seemingly no bottom. When the mud is soft, and there's no bottom, or anything substantial to grab on to. The trials tire, even with 6psi just isn't the ticket when compared to an MX 31. It's great in it's element, but I think the Tubliss system has pretty much rendered the trials tyre a thing of the past for me.
