Some people care a lot about tire weight. I'd rather focus on durability and not getting pinch-flats.

Tire weight can make a big difference. They say that you feel spinning weight more in the handling than other bike weight.

I like the k rads. Grippy enough for a well packed dirt jump but you can still get away with a little street when you're killing time.

I like the small blocks on dirt, but on smooth skateparks, I have this phobia that they will slip out... although it has only happened once or twice

I have some Shwalbe Table Tops that I really like. They are great at the skatepark and dirt jumps. I have also tried kenda k rad's, but they don't roll as fast.
Cheers!

I'm a dirt only guy. And just tried out my first set of DTHs in 26x2.1
Gotta say they're light af,roll fast,grip pretty damn good.
Just might be my new faves!
