I'm looking for a new tire for my bike. I want it to be a 2.6 or 2.5, 26" and be a good tire for wet shore(sticky) but it can't wear out fast cause I have to ride about 2 miles on concrete to get to the trails.

2.5-2.7 nevegal. stick-y rubber, savage looking tread pattern and they wear awesome. i've had mine for 3-4 months and all of the grip slits in the knobs are still there and as deep as they were when i got them. whenever i ride trails i have to ride back home through town so there's plenty of pavement miles on them and i don't change them out when i do street stuff.

Intense DH 2.5 FRO Intense makes some CRUCIAL tires, and you'll never pinchflat even with a regular tube.....those walls are UBER stiff.

The EX909 is more for dry conditions, but still, when I had a 2.7 DH FRO I rode 90% concrete and it lasted, and is actually still going strong....
