No eBay APP ID and/or Cert ID defined in Kunena configurationNo eBay APP ID and/or Cert ID defined in Kunena configurationBeing a BIG fan of Diamond Backs, I am thinking of changing over to Special Tracks or similar.
However, Ive just seen a set of 235 75 15 Recip Trial Muds on Ebay.

Anyone have any oppinions on these tyres ? They look as agressive as Special Tracks, but are only 80/20 offroad, where the ST's are 90/10 ...

I've always liked the look of Recip Trials (no idea on performance!) - I'd have bought them for the Monty if I'd have had more cash, at the time I was made an offer on Marix Pumas that I couldn't refuse B)

I was told they're simillar to the Puma / Saraha pattern but more solid 'bars' rather than blocks, if you get my drift, they are meant to be a bit noisier on road because of it.

Recip Trials are good but not as aggressive as Special Tracks and I don't think the tread depth is as deep as ST's, which makes a big difference.

I would stil with ST's or something with the same tread pattern - such as the Malatesta Kaimans - but don't forget, with the extra tread they are bigger!
