depend on what kind of tracks you are riding on as some tyres are going to work better than others (for example you wouldn't use SX's in sand) also depends on how much you've got to spend on tyres through out the year as the SX compounds in all the brands will wear quickly. Hipers are great wheels but are a bit exe and arent really a weight advantage, if you go alloy Douglas are the most recognised brand around.

I was meaning sand as in sandy MX tracks rather than the dunes......
the Hiper non-beadlocks are probably around the equivalent weight to a stock wheel but there is definatly no wight advantage from the hiper beadlocks over alloy beadlocks
