I have a Qu-Ax 24" Cross with a Duro Wildlife, which is a great tyre in my opinion and works really well off-road on the single tracks. My problem is that I take my Uni for rides on the road and as a result the Wildlife is wearing down very quickly. I would like to get a road tyre that I could swap to when wanting to ride on the road, that is going to be able to take the abuse of the tar and concrete and last a while as I can’t afford to keep replacing tyres, the Dollar/Rand exchange rate is just a killer.
Dyno Fireball vs Maxxis Hookworm, which of these 2 is the better choice ? or are their other better choices ?
the fireball is described as a cruiser tyre, the hookworm is meant for more serious work, used for skateparks and dirt jumps. For that reason i would go with the hookworm, it’s so smoothe on the road but made for abuse.
I’ve never used a fireball but I have the hookworm on one of my 24" unis and its an awesome tire. I used that uni for street/trials before I got my street uni. Its get plenty of air volume, its really light and handles amazingly. Its also the tire Justin Kohse used in defect if that tells you anything.
I use the Hookworm on my 24"DX and like it a lot for general riding. Very rugged, works equally well with lots of air or very little and very smooth rolling. I have not used or seen the Fireball so can not comment on it.
