Right off the bat, something durable against punctures, something with stiff sidewalls for running maybe 55-75 psi in a 110 psi tire setup, good against any possible under rotations, casing and/or drops to flat, something that wont CUT as easily (I run a coaster and will still slider out of fakies or pull the front end up and around into a small abrupt slider, at times) and etc, etc...

I am considering just saying fuck it and getting Cult Dehart Slick Tires again and possibly end up calling my tire situation done and dealt with because of how heavy (thick heavy) they are, I just stopped riding them because my old Mutiny Frame's geo felt a bit sluggish on rotations when having such a heavy set tire, but I am on a Mothership v2 now for second frame after, but either way I figure I can run them again because my current frame is a lot snappier now.

But if there's any you can advise that are like a street tire on steroids please do tell, lolol.

*For Anyone who remembers that thread I posted about those super light tires to cut down on weight, well shit, I'm over it.*

Odyssey Dude. If you pick the Dugan tires you'll be forever stoked on them. I love them.

I'm now on some of my absolute favorite tires ever, the Odyssey path tires! But good luck finding them, they're rarer than a football player without a concussion.

x2 on the odyssey dugan tires or even fit t/a's if you want something a bit softer. even try the donnasqueaks if you wanted something with tread and works all around.

Go for BSD donnasqueaks, I had ridden them (both 2.25" and 2.4") for a long time and there are perfect, super grippy anywhere and hold up well under abuse.

My favorite combo was two BSD 2.4", but one day, my backtyre was dead, I would liked to buy the same tyre but there was none left, so I had buy a Cult dehar slick 2.4" and I currently ride this one in the back and a BSD 2.4" in the front,
The differences between the tyres : the rubber is noticiabily harder on the cults, which make the tyre a bit less grippy (to not say slippy at first coming from the bsd's, I don't know if I would trust the cult on the front) but that hard rubber provide a longer life, especially if you are brakeless and skid while going fast (foot on tyre, wheel stopped, tyre smoking) so at the end of the day this is maybe the best tyre combo I had ever ride.

i run fit T/A 2.4 in gum for frount and back, and they are amazing for street and park (concrete) they feel tacky which is good for grip, they look amazing and can go really fast depending on how hard you pump em. all of my friends that ride my bike love the feel of my tires.
I have tried the dugans and i dont like them.

I ran the dirt paths for a while, and they were super durable and have been on my nephews bike for 5 years or so still going well. (He doesn't ride much at all)

Decision made, going to get myself some 2.20 Black/Maroon Animal TWW's, I used to own a set right when they came out and they were damn good.

EDIT: Used to own a set when the ORIGINALLY came out.
