Get M80's, you need at least 10k's above your weight so that you can get more bounce. Tyre sox are bike tyre's that are cut up and fixed to the hooves with jubilee clips to help stop the wearing down of the rubber on the hooves. Taping springs helps to protect them from getting nicks in them. All of this information is available on here and the other forum, you only have to look for it

Yes to the m80's, as ET said, about the use of tyre socks, if you don't want to tape your springs, using a bike inner tube, as I did!!!
