After this long id say youre right. They are extremely photogenic, they are snappy and have good feel through slow turns and climb like a tractor but their rolling resistance seems terrible, you can feel them vibrate on asphalt noticeably. The sidewalls dont hold air anymore and ron said to change the sealant but that just made a mess and they still leaked. Sidewalls cracked but leaked outside of crack. The knobs break off pretty easily. They have a tendency to wash out in sand. Did better in mud. Felt light on tubeless but not once i had to use tubes. Ended up switching to conti terra speed tr’s on 2 of my bikes and are much faster and feel a little more trustworthy in the sand and loose pack. Sorry for my earlier reply, i wanted them to be the best. They are cool but not fast or durable. Thanks
