Ive heard theyre made from an incredibly hard compound which I guess is good for dirt, really digs in, but slides like butter everywhere else.
I have 0 personal experience with it so dont take my word for it.

no those are Momentums.
Now that I think about it, my entire "crew" is running Machetes, and everyone really likes them. I always here people complain about them slipping out on crete, but none of us have ever had that problem. My old Momentum slipped more.

I believe it. I hated mine for concrete park which is a what I ride a lot of the time, along with trails. But Collin has the same exact one I had so...

Man I'm slurring my facts today. 2nd mistake. Thanks for the correction.
I'd go with the La Mesa tires.

Dude I think it was the layer of jizz you put on it before you shipped that added the grip.

Machetes were made originally for dirt. But then tons of people starting riding them for street. All Demolition tires in my experience are super thin and get flats super easily once they get to like 70% tread. I had to put like 2 or 3 full layers of duct tape and flat stoppers on the inside of my tires when I rode the Demolition Momentum's and Machete's. The sidewalls are also not that great as mentioned, especially if you grind all the time.

Tell that to my 2 year old momentums, replaced because I got a good deal on a fresh set of the same tire.
My sidewalls are just fine...so I would take that to mean I don't hit em much when it comes to grinds.
