What are you guys running when you go to the dj. Right now I just use the Intense 909's that I use for damn near anything. But I'm looking for something lighter now and faster rolling. I've heard of people using hookworms when the dirt is hardpack, but something about that doesn't make me feel to comfortable. I've been looking at the Arrow Launch tires, they seem to be pretty good for dj. So any suggestions would be great.

i have the arrow launch tires, and they seem to grip well on dirt, and especially well on the street. plus they're noticeably faster rolling than my previous fire xc/kujo dh setup, and the round profile is nice. however, i haven't been djing with them, but others can probably fill in for my lack of experience.

Kenda K-rad 2.3's are what I use. I use em for everything. Skatepark, DJ's, Urban, I even use them when I go trail raiding and they work fine. Their pretty cheap also.

i've been using a pair of Kenda Kinetics 2.35, i think they are called xtreme x country or something like that. kevlar bead, nice and light, run dh tubes with them and haven't had a flat in a long long time. i have a pair of Dmr motos on my Rhythm and i think they are comparable to the launch and i can tell you the motos are nice. roll beautifully, hook up on street and mid to hard pack great.

larsen tt's roll FAST. anything 60 durometer should roll fast and grip well. i run high psi as well so that helps a lot.

I roll worms and they work well for jumps, but not so well for burms and looser stuff. I am thinking about getting a mich comp 15 2.2 semi-slick for the front and maybe a arrow for the rear, because I want a little more grip around turns.

i really like my highroller semislicks, they are fast and still let you corner. But if you get a set get the singleply ones and run 65psi. The Dh sidewalls are a waste if you arnt running below 40 psi.

Ive been jumpin for a while, it depends on the conditions. for hard pack ide go for the maxis hookworm, grips reel well. Im stil trying to find the right tire for wet ground though.
