currently i'm running some 38c wtb interwolf or some crap i got for super cheap at co cyclist. they're ok, but sort of slow and not that great in the dirt, even at low psi. i might try reversing the rear tread direction. they also have been more flat prone than the ritchey's. once i get my rear wheel rebuilt, i'm going to swap them back out for my 32c speedmax.
