Inverted treads
Has anyone tried the inverted tread slick design on the trails with any success? I have heard about the Avocet Cross II series but I wonder about the knobbie-less design on the dirt. Any other ideas about a similar tire? It would be great to find a tire that worked well on both the road and the dirt . . . Thanks.

Inverted tread tires are great on the road and fine on hardpack dirt but would be pretty sketchy on loose trails or in wetter conditions. Other options are tires with a smooth center tread and knobs on the shoulder...then at least you have some bite when cornering on more questionable surfaces.
