What size are the CLYW Snow Tires? I wanna get a Manatee but I’m worried about response pads. I would get Snow Tires, but I’m used to the 19mm Red Pads from YoYoFactory. Will those work? ---

Snow tires are the only response pads that work with CLYW Yoyos. They do not work on any other Yoyos. :wink: ---

Which also means vice versa? Other pads won’t work on CLYW yo-yos? ---

Yep. But snow tires last forever. You won’t need to change them as often. They are a lot thicker and beefier ---

that’s the problem. I don’t like thick, snaggy pads. Contrary to the population, I like slight amounts of slip in my binds. ---

But, they aren’t “snaggy”, they work well with CLYW yoyos. Just get a Manatee, I’m sure you’ll love it! And if you don’t, there’s always the BST ---

I don’t know if they used snow tires but I just put whatever I had lying around in my Avalanche and it worked just fine :+1: They didn’t fit perfectly, but they worked ---

Snow Tires are about 2X thicker than 19mm slim pads, broader too. 19mm pads will not work in CLYW yo-yos unless you want to try to double them up, but why bother when you can just use snow tires? ---

I imagine flowable silicone would work too in a pinch, though the snow tires seem like they’d be superior. ---

Yeah flowable is an option too. Which is better is really just personal preference, they both get the job done. Pads are definitely easier though.
