Still fairly new to off-roading, and especially fat biking, so not sure which tires I could have used instead of these.
I've heard great things about the Jumbo Jims, but they're probably not the best for paved surfaces (although am surprised at their speed). Was thinking of switching to the Vee Rubber Speedsters (but for this race, their width wouldn't let me into the Fat Bike category).
The pressure I'm still toying with. Did previously have them at 20psi when doing mostly road. Had them at 10psi for this race, and must say, it's a lot easier on the body (less bouncing).
