I used to have hardcore knobbies but they sucked bad on the road, then i got street slicks. Fast as heck but sucked bad on trails. So I got one's like what you posted. It's been 600 miles and they've been great. You could look at Kenda Kross's if you want them to be a little more roady, with the kenda kross's they are likely to be better on the road but might slip more on the trails, you can deflate them a little to get better use of the side knobbies. For me, i went with the ones with a little more knobbies, because a little less road efficiency i can tolerate, sliding down a muddy trail with no control is not my cup of tea.
