Looking for the best gripping street/park tire for 26"? 26x2.25ish front and 2.1ish rear?

Something light, but grippy on pavement?

Yea, but they are heavy as hell. I'm on maxxis holy rollers now, and I like those more than krads.

I'm looking at intense mkiis or maxxis dth. Anything else better out there?

So your just doing street? You can't expect light and sturdy. Get slicks for street

Never said sturdy lol

I want light and grippy. Something that grips well on concrete skateparks, rolls fast, and grips well on wood at parks.

i just switched from 2.5 hookworms to the geax tattoo lite. it was a massive difference. the rotating mass alone was incredible. it made my bike feel brand new.

Hookworms were never an option lol I run Schwalbe Racing Ralph's on my dirt bike lol

So I'm looking for an equally quality tire for street/park

I don't know where to get the MK2 anymore though, seems like everyone is sold out.

I've read that the intense tires loose those little knobs easily in street riding. i did a ton of tire research before i chose the geax tires. i was looking for a tire under $40, under 700g and with a high tpi. the geax fits every one, and performs brilliantly. 575g, 120tpi, 2.35", Kevlar bead, and $29.99 through modern bike. they also come in white.
