i own some schwalbe table tops on my 26" on my mob..they are really light, and seem to grip well in all weather conditions...i was ridding around in 4 inches if snow and they still bite...plus they are cheap...i recommend them...

Specialized Rhythm 2.3. I ride DJ, street and park on these. Roll fast, look dope. Cant see it in the pic, but the tread runs all the way down the sidewall... Unsecure image, only https images allowed: http://www.mtbr.com/reviews/Tire/Specialized_Rhythm_Tire.jpg

Stay away from Maxxis Hookworm because they are mad heavy but I think they look really cool!I run a Halo Twin Rail on the rear of my bike.It has a a double raised bit in the middle(hence 'twin rail')so feels like a slick.About 800 or so grams.But if you do rear wheel tricks and so on how about the tranny on the rear and the FS on the front?Should save on punctures!

Holy Rollers are rediculously heavy and big. I'm getting rid of mine and either getting Schwalbe Tabletops or Kenda Small Block 8's.
