I would say Machete Tires.
Still a big tire, you would have more grip for harder turns, decently cheaper, the centerline is not like the BSD Tires but you should still have a low rolling resistance.
The BSD Donnasqueak Tires are a soft compound, fairly smooth tread tire. I would think with the softer tread compound it would be somewhat easier to get cuts from glass and such. Aside from that, having the softer compound but smoother tread and micro knurling can have a low rolling resistance plus optimal grip.
But in all honesty I think the Demolition Tires would still be the better choice.
Welp, broke past 1000... yeeeee

That machete sizing you posted is not the 2.4, its the 2.35 ..Id say the 2.4 should be comparable to the Rig 2.4 sizing but, thats if Dans even got it correct(cause they dont)
As for the BSD, it is not bigger then the machette 2.35...Ive compared both next to each other and the BSD was smaller.
In all both tires are very good but with Demolitions new compound, they should last longer between both tires. If you want the new compound Demo, be sure to get the 2.40. 2.35 does not have it and Ive heard is discontinued due to the larger size.
Could always add the Demo Rig tire as well, its said this tire is supposed to last a good amount of time, longer then other tires on the market.

Demolition will grip better. BSD will last wayyyyyy longer. Get the BSD. *coming from someone who's favorite company is Demolition, and does run the Machete
