AWT

Apart from the Schwalbe (which you don't get on with) you're best trying to hunt down a Maxxis Highroller, you will pay through the nose for it though and you'll most likely have to get it shipped from Europe.

I ran a DMR rt on my 24 for a while, quite grippy, very bouncy never had a puncture with it. I also had the standard fit Kenda kinetics, they were also grippy and bouncy, but quite heavy

The Maxxis High Roller isn't too hard to find in the 62a. A couple places still have it in a super tacky, just need to pay a bit extra for shipping. I got mine from one of the shops in france I think? (Thinking of ordering a couple extras as spares).

Tyres I have tried.

Maxxis High Roller: Grip is decent. Volume is good. Rebound is good for a tyre with such good pinch resistance. Pinch resistance is beyond phenomenal in my opinion. I'm 100 kg, and every other 26" tyre pinched like crazy for me. Similar pinch resistance to the 26" Der Kaiser.

Conti Air King: Super grippy, decent volume. The tread pattern and low rolling resistance are a welcome treat when riding urban. A bit pinchy. If you're a lighter rider (sub 150 lbs) might be decent. I have one for a front tyre on rainy days when the Kenda isn't quite up for the challenge.

Schwalbe Fat Albert: This tyre has some incredible rebound! Not as stable as the Maxxis, but it has a really nice feel to it. Unfortunately I still pinched a lot. However, it isn't horrible in the pinch department. Better than the Conti for sure. A decent standby. Grip is acceptable in most dry conditions.

I've never connsidered Fat Alberts worth the money. I bought one for my first 24" and after only an hour riding it I was looking for another tyre.

I got along best with a 42a 2.4 Maxxis Swampthing. Quite weighty but it's round profile means it feels great on anything off camber without folding or squwirming. Run with a lighter tube at a higher pressure and the bounce is good also. Nice stable tyre with amazing levels of grip and I never once had a puncture with it.
