First off, I've worked in the bike industry for 20 years, so I've seen lots of semi-slick and crossover MTB designs. But when I got a classic Bontrager steel hardtail to ride on firetrails and rural paved backroads in the Santa Cruz mountains, I did a lot of research. I decided on the Hard Terrains, ordered a set and after six months could not be happier! These tires are amazing. Absolutely no noise on the street -- no wierd behavior in turns, but edges that grab and hold in the loose stuff. You mount them with the arrow shape pointing forward in the front for less rolling resistance and backward in the back for more traction.

Like the Michelins I have on my GTI and Ranger, they're solidly built, which means they could be a tiny bit lighter, but they perform and give me a real sense of confidence. I've had 26x1.5's on other MTB's, but I really like the 2.0's. I don't normally write reviews, but these are so darn cool I felt compelled to give a big shout out.

Very hard and stiff at first with glue like grip! much better after broken in for about 30 miles(mostly roads and hard pack). A lot better then the original tires on my gary fisher marlin and dont need to top up the air every 2 or 3 days. good,comfortable ride with strong rubber that looks like it will last a while!

I use the tire for commuting and it rolls great on the city streets. The main reason I bought this one is because it will have great traction and handling in the snow when the time comes.
