Had neither the DMR tyres on my radar nor actual road tyres.
Currently trying to find out the compound of those road tyres as I have a feeling they might be optimized for less wear and therefore a little too hard for my case.
Holy Roller, DMR Moto RT and also Kenda K-Rad look all pretty suitable/similar but the later two have these little knobs which “look” grippier.
Schwalbe Table Tops have been recommended to me in a shop:
“E v e r y b o d y rides them. They are ideal for indoor parks, too.”
While I am not a big Schwalbe fan they certainly look suitable. Kind of siped rectangular blocks length-wise on the shoulder might help traction while cornering and they certainly “feel” very tacky.
Hookworms are ACE! I have some that get on my Enduro from time to time when I want to get rad to teh powa of sikk, shredding teh gnat on da mean streetz!
Whatever tyre you choose rub it down with isopropyl alcohol before your run, it should clean the surface making it nice n’ tacky but i guess all that work will be next to no good as the tarmac/concrete surface will be covered in oils n’ shite anyway.
Good luck though, hooning about in a multi storey car par on a bike or any wheeled transport is good fun and not in any way “irresponsible or childish* at your age”
* according to a crabbit/overweight and heavily panting glasgow copper who called for backup to block the exit of mitchell street multi-storey car park in Glasgow a few years ago, apparently it is not the done thing to have 4’s up duel races down the exit ramps at 2am in the morning.
Think more of multi-storey car park-style painted concrete
Same thing. The more rubber in contact with the surface the more grip you’ll have. A slick will have more rubber on contact with the ‘road’ surface than anything with knobs.
I have no idea what tyre would be best I’m afraid… but keen to know whether Evans are planning on doing this again then? Was going to come and watch the one last year, but completely forgot about it!

Physics fail, grip is independant of area.
I’ve some lightly worn supertacky larsens if you want them cheep.
