I often ride home after dark.

There are no lights or reflectors on my bike, nor do I wear a helmet. Without meaning to make too much of it; the option of travelling in stealth mode after dark around these parts far outweighs any concerns about "being seen by cars". Likewise wearing a helmet while riding a bike, especially after dark just spells "V-I-C-T-I-M".

Bummer, ideal otherwise.

Do you have any other tire suggestions?

I'm curious, Where do you ride where wearing a helmet spells "V-I-C-T-I-M", and not being seen is safer at night?
