Thanks for the info
Korina , it's a '93 Bridgestone XO-3, we're doing roads and trails, some hairier than others. I'm thinking anything will be a compromise. The trails are likely not to be very bumpy/loose/hairy because we don't prefer those. She has noticed the 26x1.4 Michelin Proteks are slower on the road compared to her 27x1 1/8" Panaracer Urban Max tires. The Maxxis DTH tread looks to have a similarly assertive tread as the Michelin Proteks.
