MTB is fast enough with this.

On road, as a matter of fact, roadbikes are always faster than MTBs.

I like MTBs but I always envy the swiftness of roadbikes.

What makes roadbikes faster? Of course the different frame geometry,

having drophaddlebars with heavier gear ratios, stuffs like that make them faster.

However, the thickness and treads of tire are the big part. So just having these

slick and thinner tires on your bike gets you much faster. Also makes it much easier going uphill with less power from your legs.

I don't envy roadbikes anymore. And even with the slim tires, my MTB still looks

rough as always. Higher tire pressure MAX 87 psi keeps the tires hard enough

to run carefree of being flat. Great quality! I just love them so much.

Great MTB street tire!

Great tire for little money, very lightweight and easy to mount. Quiet, excellent grip, and works just fine in grass, hard dirt, etc if you don't push it too much. My mountain bike now feels light, and smooth, acceleration is much better.

They do what they say.

Honestly this is basically a road bike tire on a mountain bike. It looks a bit strange on my beefy bike. Tire is well made and actually fairly sticky on the road. They make my bike coast farther and ride smoother. My favorite thing about these is they are quiet I found small rattles that I never knew i had because of these. I commute to work on my bike and probably have 200 miles on these so far they are wearing but still have many more miles on them before it is time to trash them. I run them at 60PSI and they are just fine. I do change my tires back when i want to go on the trail.
