Hi does anyone know of a tyre like the Maxxis DTH dirt jump tyre, but in 27.5” size? I’m building a single speed dj bike from an old Commencal meta ht am origin frame which has 27.5” wheels.
I think the specialised kicker sport may be a bit narrow for me, the Maxxis ikon tyres a bit too grippy, and the Maxxis hookworm a bit too slick.

Hey man — cool project! Building up a DJ bike from a Meta HT sounds like a sick setup. I’ve also looked for a 27.5” tire similar to the DTH and totally get what you mean — feels like there’s no perfect in-between.

I haven’t found a true match yet either, but curious to hear what others suggest. Have you looked at something like the Schwalbe Billy Bonkers? Might be a decent middle ground — not too slick, not too grippy.
