Slick/Semi-Slick MTB tires are commonly used by MTB owners who ride mostly on streets or groomed trails. Slick MTB tires are very similar to 26" Commuter tires. Semi-Slick tires are slick down the middle but have nobs on the shoulders for improved cornering in soft conditions.
Slick/Semi-Slick MTB tires typically weigh 400-700g and use wire beads to engage with the rim. There are a few folding slick MTB tires, designed for short track MTB racing. Semi-slick tires are not typically used in competition.
Presta or schrader valve tubes are available for slick/semi-slick MTB tires.
