Used to have the 27.5x2.1 versions of the Thunder Burts on another bike and loved them. Your thoughts are appreciated, as always.
Thunder Burts are a great call. The few times I used them, I was impressed with how well they grip, despite the lack of tread depth. I was also impressed with how well they roll on pavement. I haven't used Race Kings, but many folks have commented on how well they roll. BRR data backs up the efficiency of both tires. I have seen many comments about the Race Kings wearing out quickly.
