Alternatives to GAzz

Since the Gazz seems destined for the MUni Hall of Fame, then lets set
up a list of alternatives for future reference.

List here the alternatives for a Gazz size 24" x 3.0 tire.

UDC carries these as seen 'here' (http://tinyurl.com/6vf8v)

1. 'Duro Wildlife Leopard'
(http://www.unicycle.com/shopping/shopexd.asp?id=561) - still available
at Unicycle.com
this tire has been discontinued and UDC and Bedford Unicycles still
carry it.

2. 'Arrow Racing Wide Bite' (http://tinyurl.com/3omrf) - The model that
UDC carries is a different tire than the one now made by Arrow Racing.
I talked with Arrow racing on Monday and the tires they offer in this
size have all been redesigned. Check their 'website'
(http://www.arrowracing.com/tires/)

3.'The Kujo' (http://www.unicycle.com/shopping/shopexd.asp?id=734)

I know there are others out there. Feel free to share riding
impressions and where you can get them.

What? Has that tyre been discontinued as well? Shocking! That was/is the
most direct competitor to the Gazz 24 x 3, I think. Is it also
discontinued in its guise as Halo Contra Identiti?

I've got a Halo Contra on mine. It came on my UDC max traction from UDC
UK.

As I've not really ridden many other 24x3 tyres that much then I can't
really comment on how it compares. It does roll over things so well.
Very impressed with it.

Gazz 26" x 2.6", for extra air off jumps and higher speed on the trails.
Okay you need to upgrade your rim, spokes etc. but 26" tyres are much
easier to get and less likely to be discontinued.

There is a list of ty/ires on 'http://wobbling.unicyclist.com'
(http://wobbling.unicyclist.com/Components/Tyres24.html), it is a bit
dated and dont know if they all exist still.

I great alternative to the Gazz3.0 if you really love the Gazzi's is
simply to go with a Gazz 24x2.6..........I promise you won't notice the
difference (other than shedding some weight).

i disagree that you won't notice the 24x2.6 difference. i ride that and
i notice a huge difference when i step up to a 24x3. much more
cushioning on landings, better spring on hops, slightly better traction
basically everywhere. it's a good alternative, but it isn't the same.

what's going to be on the MUni's from unicycledotcom that originally
came with the Gazza as the stock tire?
