Tyre choice....

 
So originally there was the 8 inch T1 tyres sat on the MBS.  And that was all well and good until the 10 inch diamond treat Primos turned up.  And then the 9 inch Primos arrived and the range of choice was huge!

But which one is best?


Seriously, it's a blog post for another day to compare tyre choice to terrain type and weather conditions along with tyre pressure and hub type and certainly some people take this kind of thing very, very seriously [at this point I was going to point to an article in Scuz Magazine where someone takes tyre choice very, very seriously, but that's for another day].

But that's for later.  In the meantime, lets just sum up the choice with a lovely graph:
 Perhaps I should finish with some sort of analysis?  Erm.....when choosing which wheels to put on a mountain board, bear in mind that 10 inch tyres are heavier than 9 inch tyres which in turn are heavier than the 8 inch ones?  That sounds fair enough.
