I wanted a tire for fall through early spring - more bite than my preferred summer low resistance tire. The Nano tread pattern and material provides much more confidence on trails with leaves, sand, and in the damp (I mostly a fair weather rider). I like the center rib because of the way it rides on the pavement.
I would give 5-stars but I notice more tire noise when going above 20 mph on pavement.
I put these on my Dual Sport Bike because I wanted to hit the single track without using my Schwalbe Marathons. These have plenty of grip and decent cushioning for a 40c tire. I ran them at both ends of the psi range and found a nice zone for pavement and dirt. I only have a couple hundred miles on them so for longevity we shall see, but I ran them pretty hard on roots some mud, gravely surfaces and fire roads without any issues. Decent tire on the road as well not a slug. They are easy on and off and do what I need them too. Went thru sand well too! A good option for muti use.
