My Crosstrail came with 1.9" Boroughs. They rolled well,but it took a bit of omph to get them rolling. Swapped them for some 38mm Infinity Flak Jackets w/reflective sidewalls. Much peppier,quicker handling,yet still wide enough to screw around with. And I've yet to flat any Flak Jackets(All Condition,Nimbus,Infinity,Borough).

Interesting note: those Boroughs are really light for such a wide tire. According to my digital fish scale they're 1lb 9oz with the tubes still in. The wire bead infinites were 1lb 11oz for just the tire.
