Just buy some Kenda Smallblock 8's. Then ride the trails and bleed red, red blood on the sidewalls.

I'm not funny. I try to be but I'm not.

Seriously...if all you do is street/road/ occ trail...get the Smallblocks. This is the best tire I have ever had for street that can double as a trail tire. It's like a semi slick that actually grips the ground. They are soooo light too.

I still have some Panaracer Fire XC Pro blue walls that I don't use anymore b/c I like these so much better. Don't let the aesthetics get in the way of your ride. You can't even see the sidewalls when your on the bike.

Just my 2 cents.
