at the moment im running a 2.25 wethepeople grippin' at the front which i love but its getting old now and i have a animal 2.0 tyre in the back which is pretty nice also! i found these tyres though Photo
Photo

they dont weigh that much compared to some other tyres that are 2.3 and i do like the brand eclat, ive been getting into street a bit but i mostly ride park at the moment and im at an intermediate skill level, would these be slippy or grippy? would these be fatish tyres? and would any tricks be harder with fatter tyres front and back? also i would get a 2.3 front and back, whats you're guys opinion on this? thanks heaps!

I ran the CTRL tires front and back for a year. Got the ones with a red wall. They grip great. I only changed them out because I wanted BSD Donnasqueaks in gray which have also been gripping fine

It's gonna be more sluggish. But more cushy. I'd buy the eclat for the front.

Only ran 2.3 in the front. Sorry never rode them at the park, only street. I'm ridden them at my kids school with a lot of concrete areas and they gripped fine.
