Street/Park/Dirt Tyre...

Any advice or opinions on which would be better out of the three below.

Kenda Small Block Eight DTC - 2.35"

Schwalbe Table Top ORC - 2.25"

Halo H Block SLR - 2.25"

Or should I be looking at something else?

Thanks

Halo tyres aren't very good from what I hear. I had Tabletops for a while and they were really good, really grippy and lasted ages. Can't comment on the Kendas.

close to a snafu knob job, can even run the red at glen t with them on (gets scary when very muddy)

Just noticed the Table Tops are in the Dirt100. Sound good

But I'm also tempted by the skin wall on the Halo (tart) and the bigger volume of the Kenda to dampen some of those flat landings

Urgh, tan/white/amber/any other colour wall tyres are the gayest looking things ever. Don't forget to wear some skinny jeans without a belt so we can all see your underwear.

Nice price but nearly 1kg each :shock:

Nothing wrong with tan sidewalls I'll have you know. Skinny jeans on the other hand should be made illegal and wearers should be punished by death.

But you don't have to worry, you can sleep easy tonight I'm leaning towards the Table Tops I reckon.

Any idea why on the Kenda website it states tyres weights as 681+34 ??

What's the extra bit all about?

Either way the Table Tops are way lighter at 560g. Now just to try and find them for less the £30 each and I'll be a happy man
