But if you can work out a way in the future to make your good tires (you can easily spend 50 bucks a piece) are off-road only, you should think about doing it!
You can have a sperate bike to ride. Obviosuly not practical for some.
You can change your tires.... have a bad ass set of tires not for every single time you hit the trail, but for when you really want to go out and kick ass.
You can have two sets of wheels with different tires allready mounted. And swap them out.
I do all those things to keep from messing up my dirt tires. Believe it or not, "simply" swapping wheels is probably more of a pain than changing both tires. But I think that because I can change a tire in my sleep.
