Better dirt tire but worst on wet pavement. Bikefish gave me the Shinko suggestion. Hard to beat at half the price of Heidenaus. Made a raid on my brother-in-law's collection of tires and now have a new set of nobby Contis and set of Heidenaus. He switched to running car tires and rims on his sidecar. When added to the new set of Shinkos I already had it should be good for 30-40k without any $s for tires.
Can't argue with the price! Cheers
