Anyway, best tire for skidding is Vittoria Randonneur found at the bike co-op for free, second is a Vittoria Randonneur purchased at your local shop, and third is what ever else you can find for free at the bike co-op.
I think this is the best answer you can get. I start to avoid skidding when I am using expensive tires. So I hunt for cheap tires. NOS, [Slightly] Used, Left-Forgotten, etc.
