Is there a difference?

I honestly have no Idea and I just spent 10 mins searching the interweb. What is grippier, Kenda Stick-E, or DTC?

Should have just gone to the Kenda site...Stick E tires are a single compound, DTC is a dual compound, Stick-E on the sides, L3R down the middle https://www.kendausa.com/bicycle/technology.html

I've had Nevegal's in DTC and Stick-E
Smallblock 8's in DTC
Excavator in DTC

DTC's are not quite as grippy but last much longer than the Stick-E's
Stick-E's are heavier.

I'm going back to the Nevegal Stick-E's merely because I can find a good deal on them.

I'm just upgrading my front tire. I would assume Stick-Es would work best then.

Stick-E front, DTC rear FTW. Stick-E on the rear tire is awesome, but wears faster. Which is really the point of DTC. Put the softer stuff on the sides for cornering, but have the longer wearing stuff in the middle of the tread where it gets worn the quickest.

Yeah, I think thats what I'll do at next season. For now I've got Some WTB tire up front and the POS tires that came with the dang bike out back. Works well enough, but the front slides a bit much for my taste.

Slow reezays are better but for some crazy reason they're NLA.

Right now I'm liking the DHF 3C, which is like the DTC, only faster.
