    I present you:

    The 26" Slyke tire:
    [image:
    http://www.peppl.com/media/product/images/HDDB465fe02977182.jpg]

    Material: 2-All compound 50/62a
    Weight: 640 g.
    26" Street tire in 100% slick version
    Bi-density: 50a on the sides and 62a on the middle
    Wire bead
    60 TPI Casing

    Let's hope Try-all starts making 19" tire's as well.

    If you want to ride a slick tire use a bmx rim, there are lots of slick
    bmx tires.

    20g if you want to go that far. Animal makes a 2.2 slick. Avocet
    fasgrip makes a 1.75. The primo comet comes in 2.2 and 1.75, though it
    has small tread it feels like a slick and pivots/spins like a slick.
    Demolition has a tire thats a lot like a comet as well.

    Do you know of anything like the 20g, but... not -quite -as big? And
    how about rims?

    If you intend to run the 20g use a wide bmx rim so you dont have
    folding problems. Try something like the halo sas 20" (i -think- its
    the widest bmx rim, like 36mm or something). a 1.75 - 2.2 isnt going to
    have a folding problem on a normal bmx rim.

    I'd like to ride those on my BMX, not sure if that will fit in my frame
    though...

    Kenda Kinetics 2.35 tire doesn't fit in my frame... I need about an
    1/8" extra clearance on either side.
