alright so I've heard lots of good things about the 26" version, what about the 20" :???:

I ride mostly street, bmx race tracks, and occasional dual slalom. would these be a good choice for all of these conditions?

if you've rode them i'd like to hear your opinions, thanx

look at it like this, you can use nobbies for street, but you cant use slicks for dirt. I think that some low profile nobbies would be your best bet. Or do what my friend does, he has the slicks in the back and knobbies up front. that way you have the front end traction that you need and you can pivet your rear end around in the turns

i already have a set of powerlite tires, (rear 1.5 i think) and (front 2.0) i have heard they are even good in trail conditions

anyone with any experience on this? please

If you want a great BMX tire, get a PRIMO WALL tire, they are great.

The Hookworms look great too though. You could also look at the Odyssey Earth Science tire.
