Oops, I got the name wrong, It's the Conti Vertical Pro's that I like, same ones Jekyll rider mentioned. I ride in the mud and through wet roots a lot which is one of the reasons I like it so much, as Jekyll mentioned it is a good all around tire that still works very well in the wet where some all around tires fail miserably. Wear wasn't too much of an issue for me as I only use them as a front tire.
