I was just wondering what people thought of the monty and try-all tyres? i have never really tried either and was wondering what they were like for both street and trials. I have ridden creepy-crawlers and dont really like them, and am currently riding a luna (i am also in the process of cutting the nobbies of an old luna to make a slick tyre, but its gonna take aaaages!)
Thanks for your help,
Max
Max,
I wouldn’t worry about having to remove too many knobs from the tyre i’m giving you! 
when i first saw what time it was when this thread was posted i was like 
…whos up at 3:30AM asking about tires??? then i remembered that you guys are in Austrailia:P
anyways in answering your question the monty sucks and ive heard that the try-all is very grippy
Riding both uni and biketrials… I can say that the Monty tyre (depends which model!) is good, well in detail:
The older white-walled Montys are great with awesome bounce and unparalleled puncture-resistance, the yellow walls are similar just with a softer compound I think.
The new 2.7 wide Monty is very grippy with side treads to help sideways-climbing and grip, its got great puncture resistance as all Montys do. The only problem I saw with this tyre is that if you’re not a big bloke, then it’s not too great for pre-hopping for sidehops and gaps as it sucks quite a bit of your effort in. Apart from that, I expect its the best tyre for doing dropping stuff on.
Onto the Try-All tyre which I use: Very very grippy, good puncture resistance. Depending on who you are, you might like the bounce it gives, you might not. It’s a good tyre, but a bit pricey. Another bonus is, if you like off-road like trials in the woods, it’s great because the mud doesnt get clogged like crazy like Creepy Crawlers and other tyres do!
It’s a hard choice, but Creepy Crawler is pretty poo tbh, even in the biketrials world, it’s not that great, it punctures EASIEST, but it does have the best grip of all (yes, even grippier than Try-all).
Depending on what you do:
get the Monty white/yellow wall tyre: For street/urban trials.
get the Monty 2.7 tyre: If you’re big/heavy
get the Try-All tyre: If you like woodland riding, riding rocks, a bit of urban.
Hope this helped…
I’ve never punctured a tube with the creepy crawler. There have been many situations, especially when it is cold, that I thought that I would have a pinch flat from bottoming out, but I didn’t.
I wish I had a good video to demonstrate how aggressively (but with good technique, mind you) that I ride trials with a creepy crawler.
The tire is light, springy and grippy when you find the right pressure that works for you. I’m 140lbs, and I ride it at about 33psi as of right now (which it’s been in the 50s degrees F lately).
All I know is that the creepy crawler rocks for trials of any nature. But, I wouldn’t know about street, being that I don’t ride more than trials with a pseudo-street flair to it.

i drive eveerything with creepy c
it is quite good except it get’s worn off fast but to slow it down just rotate your tire for 45 ° every 3 or 4 weeks
it has grat spring and the best for long last rim 
where can i get a 19 in rim?
thanks for your help guys,
does anyone know about the sidewall strength of the try-all and the monty? i know the creepy c has rather weak sidewalls and is prone to folding.
how would you rate either of these tyres to the luna for street and a bit of trials?
Cheers,
Max
i ride 23-26psi and im 45 kg(about 90-100 pounds)
