I felt quite confident in the grip on pavement; off-road may be another story, but so far, so good.
I am a reletive novice to "modern" bicycling but I must say that the I am very pleased W/my Kenda Kross Plus tires on my FSMTB & will purchase the same tires for my Specialized Crosstrail hybrid when the OEM tires wear out.
They are good on wet pavement, roll like a road bike tire, are quiet & wear like iron. They are very capable on all but the greasiest mud & loose sand when off road.
Anyone that doesn't try these on a MTB/hybrid that sees a lot of on road useage is missing out. IMO
