What kind of dirt?
I use 28 Vittoria Randos on a mix hard pack dirt, crushed hard pack gravel, and paved roads. They do fine.

When the dirt roads are freshly graded they are a loose mix but as they get uased they become packed. I've read that the Vittoria Randos were good in this environment so I think I'll give them a try. Size seems right also. Thanks.

Still kicking.
Running Specialized Roubaix Armadillo Elites on the 930 at the moment and the 930 does see dirt roads.
