But seriously... check out the panaracer fire xc pro. Fits your requirements pretty good and its a pretty decent tire.

Ok, if you guys don't like to go too retro you can always try a Maxxis ADvantage (it came out in 2005:greddy: ). Its again about the same parameter and I found it to be sticker than the panaracer.

Thanks, I'll look into kenda and schwable. I tried the panaracer on Andy's bike and didn't like it at all. But then again he had a lot of pressure in it.

ive tried the schwable on other people's bikes, and it doesnt seem as grippy as the kenda. it is a bit lighter though

So, out of convenience I threw on a Continental Vertical Pro. I've been in some really sketchy situations (haven't we all..) where I expected the front to slip out, but it stayed glued. It turns out that Continental has a 'tackier' version, too. The other benefit is they're usually stocked at your local bike shop.

Just another I'd add to your list of possibilities.
