It is a slightly aggressive tread, but it is a true touring tire, designed for virtually any type of surface that a road tourer might run into, like gravel roads. If you want a smooth tread tire for touring instead then look at the Schwalbe Marathon Supreme, but that tire is not as flat-resistant, nor will it last as long. You have to decide what you want a tire to do, do you want the ultimate in flat protection or a lighter weight smooth tread tire that isn't as flat resistant?
