[Closed] Decent Semi-Slick tyre options?

Hi, maybe jumping the gun here, but with the trails starting to dry up I'm interested in getting a pair of semi-slicks for general riding, mostly on hardpack/dusty trails with the odd sections of loose stones and often roots.

So far the only reasonable option I've found is a High Roller in semi-slick form, however I can only find this in 2.35, which would negate the benefits for me!

So anyone know any other options I have? Prefferably 2.1 or at a push 2.25, and with decent shoulder tread for cornering grip.

Cheers!

Mach Ss are ok but Panaracer Razers are better overall - watch the front washing out though...

2nd the small block 8's (2.35). Mine were great at the weekend on the dusty trails.

Ritchey speedmax are decent, especially on the rear. Not sure if they're still made though, my pair are a few years old now. they come in 2.1" wide too.
