Default Vredestein B-each tires.

I ran across these online, but not a lot of info. Apparently they're
blue 26x2.3 true slicks.

Opinions, experiences, prices??

I looked online, but everything was en dutch.

I paid attention during my highskool years and can now translate Dutch into
English, German and French.
The tyres are good and are as slick as slicks can be. I use them during
beach races with < 2.0 bar.
They are green and I bought them in Arnheim (NL/EU) at approx. 25 Euro.

Dont use them for anything else, unless you want a snake bite.

would you say pumping them up to 5 or 6 bar would be a good idea or
stupid?

Not a good idea, coz they Vredestein people wrote "pressure: max 3,5 bar" on
the tyre.
you can use them with 18,8 - 2,0 on the beach and at approx. 3,0 in the
dunes. In heavy sand, like on the beach or in sand dunes, you will have an
advantage using slicks and riding with low pressure. The off side of this is
that you need to ride more carefull (snakebite).
Also consider Suuuuuper Motooossss.
