I will have a better report after the Oregon Outback, but I've been commuting and done a couple 25+ mile rides with gravel on the Hunqa with tubeless Thunder Burts (TLR, not Snakeskin), and they are great so far. I do ~30/40 front/rear PSI, and no flats or problems thus far. Probably have 400 miles on 'em. Good wear, good traction, better ride than Hetres (rode them yesterday for comparison) - maybe not quite as fast on pave, but smooth and more compliant over bumpy sections. Volume helps!
