They will, absolutely.
I've given thought to the Michelin Country Rock 26x1.75's, since I already have some experience with MTB semislicks; I ran Intense Micro Knobby 2.25's for a couple summers, and at full inflation, they were FAST! For me, 60+ psi was like lightning, 55 and lower was like pedaling through sand. If I thought I was really done with the trails, I'd jump on the Country Rocks in a second, but I still like to get a little silly on a ride on impulse, my Michelin Country Dry 2's handle that better.
