    awaits RMSC to tell you they are soft :lol:

    semi-slick tyres are fine for dry hardpack, if you want a tyre with lower rolling resistance then consider the WTB trail boss

    Ha ha yeah was thinking that myself!!
    Didn't think of the wtb, at the mo got a ardent on back but fancied a change, only issue I have with semi slicks is I'm still learning to corner properly so just just wonder if I they'll provide enough grip.

    Vittoria Sagaro's seem to do it all and the grip is very good. These would be something different. There are new XC and all mountain tyres this year with new compounds which I have not had a chance to try yet. Currently riding on the Geax (vittoria) Gato's 2.3" 29er and the geax saguaro tubulars and have not found them wanting.
