Re:

I use Rocket Ron's.

I don't know if they are fast on road, but they certainly handle pretty much all obstacles in the woods, and as Jon was doing sub 40 minute laps on his at Mayhem last year, that makes them a lot faster than I can ride.

The Kenda smallblocks will be fast, not sure what the grip is like though, pretty good on road and hardpack I imagine.

Schwalbe Rocket Ron Evolution LiteSkin PaceStar for £48 a pair? 2.25

Re:

Yup, but Jon and I run tubeless, so I can't say how puncture resistant they are.

Re:

Hi big fella

Also running Rocket Rons on my tubed wheels. Seem pretty good. Only had one flat on that bike.
Seem light too. Just watch out for cross winds :facepalm:

I shall purchase a couple and strap it down between rides.

Rocket Ron is the only tyre I've had fail to seal a puncture when run tubeless.
It punctured on a trail I use almost every time I leave the house on an MTB or CX bike (including semi slick race tyres!). And it's one of the only tubeless puncture I've had since I've lived here. (8 years).

Not sure what that means as I'm running tubes?

They hole hugely and easily.

Thank you for the translation.
