I love mountain biking, but I find that riding an mtb on the road with mtb tyres just sucks! It’s like swimming in pyjamas 😂 Also not great for training your position on a tri bike.
Heavy duty road tyres sure. I use Pirelli Cinturato Velo tyres for training. Still pretty fast and very puncture resistant, especially when run tubeless.
