Tires...?
streetStreet:
When the fuck did they become so boring? They're all smooth and 2.35-2.4.
the aitken front is a nice tire why can't we have nice tires anymore?
Why can't they all just fold like they used to.
JFax:
I think most of the knurled ones are still out there, just that everyone seem to be buying the large and smooth ones now.
I went in to a shop last year asking for a light weight foldable tyre, and they just laughed at me saying that noone cares about tyre-weight anymore...
I also visited a BMX-store in Flensburg, Germany last weekend and they had some new Shadow tyres for 54 euros, never seen a BMX tyre that expensive!

Don't really need a super knobby tyre for dirt as it isn't really loose like you might find on an mtb track. You can still get light tyres from companies like Maxxis, Tioga and KHE. Fly Rubens are still the gentleman's choice.
There are definitely riders that still care about weight like back in 2009. They are, how you say, le park rats. The market is largely ignoring park riders with the exception of companies like Total and Colony. Not everyone is a jibs rider but that is 95% of what the market is catering for just now.
EDIT: Also, find me some Fly Sergio tyres.

Tires are crazy heavy these days. A stiff, heavy tire can ruin a bike's feeling. I miss foldable revenge tires.
