Tire tread.

Hello, I'm going to buy a Kenda Kinetics 26x2.6" to go a bit lighter
with my Nimbus II 26 isis muni.

I've found them sold on ebay, but... should I get the rear or the front
one?

I've ridden that rear tire on a 24" quite a bit and I like it. Every
loss of traction I've had I think was do to crappy technique and not
the tire.

Ride everywhere and never just ride anywhere. If you can ride where you
are going within a hour, do it, and if you can do a trick 50-75% of the
time do it along the way.

I think just as important as the tread is the tyre profile. I've found
the squarer profile tyres best. Round profiles are unpredictable
especially when cornering at speed. They also don't track very well
over soft ground.

I use a directional tyre on my 29" MUni but I don't think it makes that
much of a difference.

New question. I just bought a new Nimbus ISIS 26" Muni that came with a
26x3" Duro Wildlife tyre. As I am only new at uni and am still learning
to ride I was thinking of getting a street tyre for it. My question is
: are normal 26" tyres that you can buy from the LBS suitable for uni's
or are uni tyres made specifically for them. Otherwise i will have to
get a Maxxis Hookworm 2.5" as they are the only 26" tyre UDC has in
Australia.
