Tire For Trials On 24"

I'm saving for a trials uni. In the mean time I'm trashing my Dura
Leopard tire on my Muni doing trials and street riding. Any suggestions
for a good 24 x 3 tire that would work for trials?

24" x 3 Dyno FireBall if you can still find one? there are other
companies making 24 x 3 chopper cruiser tires, there is a fat ass tire
looks like it might work?

I'm interested in an answer as well, since we are facing a simular
situation.

In 24" by 3" wide I know of the Fireball tire. However I don't know if
it is good for anything but pavement. Can one be ridden off road?

Just buy a gazz. I use a 3" on my 24 and it rocks...its a bomber off
road tire and works really well as a trials tire. If you run it at low
pressure it sticks to anything...the only prob is the weight of a 24x3

I'm currently using a Duro Leopard (not so different from a Gazz) but I
feel like I'm ripping the knobs off when on pavement.

I prefer the Hoggy G to the Fireball. The Hoggy has a much rounder
profile--making it much easier to ride on off-camber conditions.

So how does the Hoggy G work when you are riding on the edge of a
skinny? I've heard the flatter tread of the Gazz is more forgiving on a
skinny, so it would seem that the Hoggy G round profile would be less
forgiving when on the edge of an obstacle.

The fireball has a weird charcteristic that it pulls you into slants and
off-camber situations. It's possible to get used to, as I did, but it's
really not very good. I think it has more to do with the sidewalls then
the profile. I've seen tissue paper thicker than fireball sidewalls.
I've ridden a fireball on minor offroad, and it works okay. Knobbies are
nice, though.
