Sell all your fat bike tires and get some 45nrth Dunderbeist/Flowbeist for winter and get the Specialized Fastrak 4.0 for summer.

How do the Fast Traks handle soft/wet/muddy conditions? Also how would you rate the sidewall strength of the tires you recommended? I like the stiffer sidewalls of the Minions and at my weight I still feel comfortable not hitting my rims when running lower pressures.
