Second, I didn't mean you must run Joe Dirts, just use something with a little more tread depth even IF packed trails will be ridden.
Third, being a semi soft tire, Joe Dirts should be great for metal.
Joe Dirt tires are the best all around tire I've ever used. Far from being crap.
I wasn't referring to the Joe Dirts actually, should have made that more clear. When you said deeper tread I thought of the tires my friend runs, which after looking at the picture of Joe Dirts, have a lot deeper tread and look uglier than those. I'll consider them, thanks for the info.

Heh, I see what you mean. The focus is pretty hard to get right with moving things at 2.8, I have a lot of respect for sport shooters that shoot big lenses wide open all the time and still get the shots. Is the 70-210 you have a Canon or a Tamron? I have the Tamron one that I bought used a while ago.
