24 inch Tires
Just a heads up for those of you running 520- 24 inch tires and looking for something in the states besides Panracer...Chain Reaction cycle out of the UK has the Schwalbe Durano tires. Found the price and shipping from there reasonable.
These came with the Airnimal I bought last summer and I've found them fast and reliable.

nice find, I've been looking for them to replace the Pannys I have on one wheel
Also have a Airnamal but the Joey. I wanted a packable bike which could ride on the road and gravel with wider tires.
Did you notice if they had other 520 tires?

The Terry Tellus seems to still be available. I've run them in the past on my Chameleon (s), especially the one that I installed a mid-drive in.

Thanks Bruce, I looked at them but the psi is less so I didn't know if they were less about speed and more about general use. Have you used them on light dirt roads? I have an event I love in Vermont but it's all dirt roads and hills. The Vybe was brutal with the climbs.
I think chain has the pans, Durano is $32.49. I looked at Schwalbe.com but didn't see a cart option

Here's Schwalbe's Tire Shopping Page
The Terry tire would probably be better for hard pack than the Panaracer or Durano due to being a wider offering. I forget who actually manufactures the tire, but they were a nice ride and reliable for me.

Make sure you get the right 24 inch tires. I bought my Joey as a frame and fork, built it up with 507mm tires, not 520. I think that Joeys could use either wheel.
