I might go slick on the front ?

Or i was looking at the KHE mac tyres ?

any opinions

Thanks

Josh

khe tires suck. You have to run extremely high psi or they will pop from doing a flat 180. The best slick tire is the shadow folding tire. Its not too light but you can run it at a lower pressure and its really wide. You could also run bmx dirt jump tires. If i were you I would just run trials tires though cause they are the lightest.

Good luck getting hold of one, I pretty much couldn't find any in folding that weighed less than a Try-All.

EDIT: Plus, yeah it might be a 290g tyre, but do you really wanna run a 1.4" slick road tyre on the front of your mod with probably a 35-40mm wide rim?! Would be great for sidehops, but shit for actual riding.

EDIT 2: Sorry, it's not slick, I was thinking of one of their other tyres, the Kojak (230g), but still I wouldn't wanna run a 1.4" front tyre :/

That's a myth. I got one shortly after release years back, i ran no more than 50psi with no major trouble.

If your prepared to run a bmx tyre and sacrifice grip, look into the Maxxis Grifter. I was thinking about trying one on the front myself for trials.

probably cause you were using a bmx rim trials rims are way wider. Its not a myth I have done it. Their are a bunch of types of khe tires I was running the lightest one I think thats the park one.
