Mine skip if something on the ground moves.

My rear semi-slick. No squirm. XC rounder profile tires with even spaced knobbies tend to roll off the centerline better.
Flatter profile mud\hucking tires have re-inforced sidewalls and are run lower psi more on the center.
Kobbies that join at the treads edge squirm often, the rear usually in the Front\Rear\different tread designs. Reverse the tires and the squirm is front.
XC tends to have a more uniform roundness and knob spacing =better cornering.
The Serfas Vermins pretty good -higher psi speed tire for offroad\works really good as an asphalt tire as well in wet too. Mine says Kevlar mat and was about 3/5 the price of IRC Kevlar XC tires.
I also find most rolling resistance ir rear so I use a smaller 1.95 rear high psi and 2.3 xc lower psi knobbed front.
So I have a smooth front\grippy and a fast\tight tracking rear.
I have a lot of tires, I wreck tires...the Serfas is holding up reasonably well, a good tire for a economical price really, and the closest to a road\offroad tread design I've ridden.
I notice they have several slicks, I've not used other than what i'm recommending.
