i like the dmr transition tyres,
the fs100's and the kenda npj,

Small Block 8's are amazing if you dirt jump and street.

Micro Knobbies are like only good for street but for street they do work damn well.

Are SB8's actually that good for street and park? They look more like xc tyres-I know a lot of urban riders swear by them though. How durable are they? The lugs are so small and short they look like they'd run out of grip pretty fast...

I'm never going to use anything other than Small Block 8's on my hardtail.

how long do the tabletops last for street? knowing specialized's current rhythms last practically forever, i'm tempted to lean towards their 2009 rhythm lites, which have a similar weight (600g), size (2.30) and tread pattern (check the 09 speccy article on bikeradar).
