Anyway, thanks to everyone for all the advices. Cheers!
Cyclocross tires have knobs for off-roading. They are not huge, fat, and aggressive like on a mountain bike, but they're still there. If you are going to be riding mostly asphalt with it, you might as well roll with slick tires instead.
Glad to hear an update. I hope you enjoy the bike as much as I enjoy my Surly LHT
