Glad the TB are working for you in winter Deacon. I wish they would for me.
I've been running a really aggressive knobby Maxxis tire, can't remember
the model, and while it bites like crazy at low pressures, man... I feel
like I'm dragging a chain. If I increase the pressure I can zip along on

My 2 cents. I used the 2.1 Thunder Burts (lightweight tubeless) last year
on the Oregon Outback, and on the paved section, we had no problem humming
along in the 17-20mph range. They are my favorite mixed terrain tire, at
least as far as what I've tried yet. I ride them regularly on my paved

Thanks for those glowing endorsements of the T-Burts. I don't intend to ride
them in the snow. No issues there. Great photos Deacon!

I will second Deacon's take on the Burts as the PERFECT occasional paved
road to full time dirt road tire. That's what I use them here for in the
upper reaches of VT where pavement is the exception to the dirt road rule.
We don't have pavement ends signs; rather, pavement begins.
For the North
Bill,
What you describe exactly matches this trip:

The first 35 miles of that are paved and chipseal, then dirt in it's many
and various glorious forms. The Thunder Burts 2.1" did brilliantly on all
of it, including slogging th
I mean Patrick! Dang. I was thinking Dave originally mentioned the Icons.

Yes, I meant both of you! Thanks for the feedback. I will check out the
Icons too Dave.

You said "Deacon and Patrick" and not "Deacon Patrick," so I assume you
meant to include me.
I've not used the Thunder Burts. I've used the Furious Freds, which I think
are close in tread and casing perhaps with even smaller knobs, though
narrower, I think, and those roll very well on pavement. Th
Hi Deacon and Patrick: what do you think of the Thunder Burts as a mixed
terrain tire on pavement to get to the dirt roads and trails? Nothing too
technical, mostly smooth packed dirt. I'm talking 5-10 miles on the road
and mixed use paths to get there though. Are they a buzzy compromise there
My Maxxis Ikons do quite well in 4 newly fallen inches (it's all gone now,
alas). They have a bit more tread than the TBs, but their knobs aren't
huge. 56 mm wide, ~20 to 25 psi, tubeless.
It would be fun to try 12" ...

I switched back to my 2.1” Thunder Burts yesterday (returning after 3 miles to
do so) from my Smart Sams because the TB’s are so smooth, the SS’s so stiff my
head hurt on the frozen rumble pack of a trail.
I know Mark R. prefers a knobbier tire, but at least in the conditions I’ve
ridden so far
