These Kenda Small Block Eights came on the bike when I bought it NOS earlier this year. Whether they are factory or changed out by Dahon before they sold it to me, I couldn't tell you. I haven't tried them for any hardcore MTBing yet, and probably shouldn't, but they're actually quite good on soft sand and fine gravel.

Two Downtubes on the Mickelsen Trail in South Dakota. Schwalbe Big Apples did OK on the gravel. 2.125" on the 8FS, and 2" on the Nova. A little electricity helped us 70 year olds.

To be fast, what make the difference is not 45mm overall wheel size difference between ETRTO451 and ETRTO406 (about 8% with 28mm wide tires) but the tires rolling resistance, 28x406 Pro-one on high quality wheels will be very fast too.
