new T1/animal tires
dude...:
yeah wow random collab. kinda cool though. while it does look pretty similar to most big slick tyres these days, it looks a lot better than those mingin mtt tyres
Oddity:
Doubt it'll happen but I'd scoop one up if it came in under 2" wide

Thick sidewalls are good for grinding durability but tend to ride and land harshly on anything that isn't perfectly smooth concrete. Thin sidewalled tires give you a much nicer ride and also happen to be lighter (roadies refer to them as 'supple' I believe).

Mountain bikers set their tires up tubeless for this exact reason. The general bmx community is definitely too dumb to understand or try it but I'm surprised no one on bikeguide has tried it.

How long until they're out? Didn't Empire post something about them after Interbike?
