Mmm, thanks for feedback all. Big Ben and Xplorer not knobbly enough for what I want

Thanks too for the pic, not sure it helps though

I'm probably pushing the DS outside where it's really intended and I do have an old MTB but the DS is so versatile for getting TO the trail.

I must admit at this point the OEM LT3s have done me pretty well and I've ordered a new rear one (which is basically a slick at the moment and certainly not helping my trail riding) while I keep searching.

Maybe I just have to bit the bullet.
