Further to this thread, Ive bought a pair of Maxxis DTH folding tyres. 20"x1.75" 44-406 (42mm wide on 21mm rim - see picture), Dual-Compound tread, 120tpi carcass, 110psi max pressure, 336g, £24.99 each.
I'd prefer slick or semi-slick tread, but this one ticked all the other boxes. Compared with the Kojak, the sidewalls feel of similar suppleness, but the tread rubber feels softer and you're never going to run off the edge of the tread in corners. Looks promising. Mike B has kindly offered to do his roll-down test on them, so I wait with great anticipation!  |

BTW, for those of you not interested in the fatter tyre, the DTH is available in a range of sizes, down to 38-406 or 28-451 (which seems to be frequently the case with racing BMX tyres) and in 507 and 559 bead diameters (if you can find a suppier...). I guess the old 28-451 Panaracer that everyone used to use in the 90s was a BMX tyre?

geoff said "I'd prefer slick or semi-slick tread" you could always do a Burt Munro and slice the tread off with a knife

Or stick them on the back of my son's BMX for about 10 minutes - that usually results in a distinct lack of tread...
