Hi, I am running IRC Mythos XC Slick 42mm tires on my Sam, and am looking for a dual purpose tire that leans a little more towards paved road performance (let's say 75% road use, 25% dirt, but with some technical stuff). The Mythos "Slick" is anything but slick. The center knobbies are shorter, but of varying height, which creates a noticeable buzz on pavement, though they grip great on hard dirt.
I want a lively tire with low rolling resistance, and I don't want/ need puncture protection (I hardly ever get flats, even on plain Jack Browns off-road). Does anyone have experience with the Marathon Cross versus the Marathon Extreme? Seems the Extreme might be the way to go, but I wonder how the Cross compares. Extremes are wider (40mm versus 38) and folding, so what do the Crosses have in their favor?
