It's introduced as a tire built primarily for dirt while remaining rideable on the road.

For people who ride to a destination and then hit the dirt once there, an off-road tire that's still road-legal is a reassuring companion. If the wear characteristics are good, you can confidently extend your range to a distant forest road. Connecting travel and adventure with a single tire - thinking about it that way, your options open up considerably.

Off-road tires seem pricey, but I guess this is about the going rate.

If a knobby tire gets reviews this good, I'd want to put it on the list for my next tire swap.

Since it's dirt-focused, the wear rate on paved roads is probably pretty fast.

It says the wear characteristics are good, so that's probably been factored in to some extent.

High cut resistance is a nice point for anyone riding forest roads or rocky terrain.

A DOT-approved knobby is a rare genre that can handle both on and off-road.

What actually makes a knobby tire different from a regular block-pattern tire?
