    What makes the hookworm tire good for freestyle?

    Well mostly, it has a high PSI ating so it gets pretty
    solid, plus it has a non-marking tire (gym-floor
    friendly) which is still pretty grippy. Also.. it's
    cheaper than others...

    Ive never ridden in a gym but riding on the street I really
    dislike that tire, it provides no grip, and when I pumped it
    up to 110 psi it just made it even more slippery. When I
    tried to hop on it, even when the psi was low it felt like
    it was still hard as a rock. Although its no grippyness
    works good on an ultimatate wheel because it doesnt hurt as
    much when it rubs against your leg.

    The brief time I had on it, I didn't care for the super
    round profile at all.

    There are not that many slick tires around 2.5" maybe this
    makes them a preferred tire, as most of those frames can't
    fit the far cooler 3" slicks?

    It is pretty slippery on very smooth polished floors, but i
    like that for spin type stuff, same with the high PSI, stays
    on a point with little surface area on the floor. But it is
    very slick when wet and hard to hop with. I only fill mine
    to about 70 PSI...

    At least you didn't put something worse like "homework tire"
    or "tapeworm tire"

    Always look on the bright side.
