Kenda K-rads are ideal and inexpensive.

I disagree.

Mine lasted two years with out a rip or tear. They're light, the traction is good, and as long as you don't buy the cheap Walmart version you shouldn't have to worry about them.

Maxxis Holy Rollers aren't bad, but they don't last too long I found. I hear Kenda Small Block Eights are good too if you're riding mostly dirt. They wear fast on pavement, so it's not worth the price tag if your in the park a lot.

Those Intense tires you mentioned look decent, though they look like they'd wear fast. Not basing that on any personal experience however.

umm...yeah k-rads are utter crap. heavy, slow and useless for street/park.

i like my maxxis dth tyres for street, park and dirt. very good all round dj/street tyre and about the same price as a k-rad (at least over here they are)

for bars i absolutely love the feel of the leaf bondage bars and ns district bars. they might be heavier than an aluminium bar but they feel amazing

for seats id also take a look at the leaf seats, their not a couch but at the same time they are pretty comfy

I'll just give the correct awnsers again. Idiots.

DTH tires. Light strong and grippy as hell.
Deity bars. Same.
Any pivotal. Doesnt matter. Just go for a seat you think looks nice.
