I would think twice about the Mondials if you are thinking about them for dirt. I use them in a 40 for commuting and they roll well on the road are are sturdy (no flats in over a year). I bought them hoping they would be a good crossover tire for road and trail but they tend to slip a lot on dirt. Too much smooth surface area in the center. The knobs open up a little on the sides which provide pretty confident turning on hardpack trails. In my opinion, Mondials were designed for road and hardpack but not dirt and rock. Perfect for my commute.
