Tyres of the jumpy street variety...

After wiping out spectacularly on my way to the lab this morning, and noticing that the sidewalls are almost completely worn through... I need some new tyres for my silly little bike. I want fast rolling and grippy, but these are used exclusively on roads and dry jumps, so I don't need traction per se, just something with a compound that wont slide out from under me on wet off-camber paving slabs and dump me A over T...
Been looking at the Halo twin rail (dual compound) the hookworm, schwalbe crazy bob and the DMR moto digger. Anything else worth considering?

Not tried the Halos but Crazy Bobs are OK and Fly Rubens are also pretty good.0

when i read the title i was gonna suggest twin rails and see you already have it on your list of maybes.
ive never ridden them but have read reviews and even justfrom looking at the tread they look like they would fit the bill. plus, you can have them in pink!!0 -
been using the Twin rails for some time.
in 20" 24" and 26" sizes. lighter than many grip better than many.
used them on dirt. pavement and wood (skate park). will not be changing."Do not follow where the path may lead, Go instead where there is no path, and Leave a Trail."
