I'm looking to give cyclocross a try. My dad has a Kona Jake set up as a commuter/tourer that I am going to modify a bit. I'm curious if I can use the current tires offroad. They are Panaracer Paselas. If not, what's a decent cheap CX tire?

Pasalas are decent tires, but they aren't great for off roading as they don't have any tread.

Best bang for buck tire is the Michilen Muds. Wear fast if used on pavement, but amazing grip otherwise.
