Tomas Slavik and Filip Polc came to south America, where they took part in the Downhill Urbano Industrial in Talcahuano, Chile to test their bikes and get used to urban races before the City Downhill World Tour opener in Santos, Brazil.

Yeah... tons of hucks to flat haha
DMR Moto's would probably be to snakebitey. Great tyres, but for pure stair hucking something bigger should be better. Also thicker sidewalls means you can run lower air pressure, so more grip and more smooth rides.
At the first glance I would also say I'd run Hookworms, but I think they probably have much less grip on stairs (especially for braking). The knobs of a DH tyre actually grab the edges of the stairs creating a lot more grip, where slicks would maybe start slipping faster.
