Hi,
I know this question is probably beaten to death, but didn't find anything up to date, so here goes:

I do some DJ with my P.2, nothing too big, only in the park and no urban. I want tires that are good for DJ but won't give me too much trouble (as I don't need to fly 40' in the air, I'm okay with them being a little heavier).

I'm looking at either the Holy Roller, Larsen TT, or Small Block 8. Any opinions? Also, what width should I get?

Also, I weigh about 190lbs so 45-50psi is the way to go, right?


Thanks for the help!!!

Holly Rollers have always been good to me. Grips pretty well on concrete, hard packed dirt and rolls fairly fast. I'm currently looking into a pair of Schwalbe Table Tops because I've heard nothing but good things about them from the guys I ride with.

190? i'd say u should pump up the tire to the max recommended pressure. about 65.

i'm around 80 psi rear tire and at least 70 psi front. that feels good on the dj's for me.

Thanks for the advice!

What would be a good size? Remember I only do DJ at the park, won't take these DH/FR or anything. Is 2.35 too thick? Also, which brand do you recommend?

Thanks.

I just got a third small block 8 tire last night, really good tires, I would go with a 1.95, thats the best size for me.

my front is 2.25 and rear 2.1. i generally like a wider front.

26" I love the sb8 in 2.1 I think @ 60 psi, crazy fast and lots of grip on loose over hard pack so for trails I think they are the best tires. (I never ride park)

I am riding 24's right now with k-rads in 2.3, they seem great but there could be better tires I don't know about because I just switched back to the little wheels.

holly rollers are always good for all around but I like a fatter tire the 2.4s. I have also heard god things about the Intense micro knobbies if you can find them, I just ordered a set of 2.2s. then my buddies swear by k-rads and the Specialized park tires for park urban and riding at Rays

All the tires you just named have pretty much been the worst from my experiance.

I have had nothing but good luck from Holly rollers and Hookworms. I am trying the Intense because there is so much hype on them and they are always so hard to get so something must be good about them

Has anyone had experience with the Panaracer UFF'DA! Tire - 26 x 2.30??

pump tracks and psi... this place has gone

They grip. They grip real good, but they're fairly heavy at close to 1kg, per tyre.

that may not be bad for urban, less pinch flats on stair jumps or ledge drops if it is a heavy casing. I used to run a dh casing hookworm in the rear and it never gave me problems.

Nah mate, not saying that they're bad. They were one of my favourite pairs, they're just hard to find, where I'm from, so I stick to Holly Rollers.
