My MTB sees equal mileage between pavement and single track. The Kenda Nevals I presently ride do great on the trail but are a rolling resistant nightmare on paved bike paths. Thus I'm looking for a tire which rolls faster and smother on pavement yet can still be used off road so I'm looking for recommendations. I know this will cause a sacrifice in traction but I'm willing to do that to an extent. My normal trail conditions range from damp and soft to hard and dusty clay hard pack with roots with an occasional rock or three. Tires I'm looking at are the Bontrager LT3 or XR2 and Specialized Fast Trak LK.

I would like to hear your opinions on these tires and any others I should be considering.

Someday I'll get a road bike and won't have this need for an all purpose tire, but not yet....
