They roll pretty smoothly on pavement, but also don't have a tremendous amount of off road traction in return.
If looking at some of WTB's stuff, the Nano 40c is usually praised as a good all around tire. I have a few sets in the 2.1" MTB tire size and they're sticky like glue on most surfaces...and roll well on pavement. They do have a bit of a "growl" on the road...I think this is because of all the biting edges on the tread.
I'm keeping options open and have seen a few Conti's I like. Not sure if they are even making the Crossrides anymore, but would be a tire I would consider buying again. But have noticed the Conti Terra Trail seems very similar to the Crossride. That is one option I'm considering.
I'm kind of liking the WTB Riddler's. Have been reading many good reviews of all the tires I'm considering at moment.
