Im looking for tires that are primarily for road, fast rolling, strong and able to do a bit of offroad for my cyclocross..do these fit the bill?

They are great travel tires, but have a slight resistance to rolling. The best use would be for someone that rides pavement in rain frequently, since they have freakish grip in the rain. Try out Vittoria's Randonneur Pro or the newer replacement tire, they are much faster rolling and I found them to have better grip on gravel and dirt. Very plush ride, and they cost about half as much :o

These tires certainly fit nicely on your first THREE requirements (primarily road, fast rolling, and strong :-) , but the tires do lack any meaningful tread pattern as they were not designed for off road or turf conditions. That said, as long as the dirt is packed down and dry, I have been able to occasionally hit the dirt, but of course don't push these in corners because lack of knobs.cheers, Joe T

Yes they do! Although they're alittle heavy and harder to spin. You pay for all that durability. This is a good all round high milage tire. If you want speed try Schwalbe Kojak. Kojak's have no tread. You pay for speed...

Track and road conditions, these tires are superb. I haven't had an issue with them speed wise. Offroad, however, is a different story as I haven't taken them off roading. The most I've done with them is take them down a dirt path for maybe a tenth of a mile and there was a noticeable increase in resistance. Moreover, the tread situation is geared for road conditions so traction on the dirt was an issue. However, as I said, I only used them for a tenth of a mile on a tame dirt path so you may want to look around for a better issue or tire if offroading is a must or if it is anything more taxing than a simple path.

Bill, I don't know the speed range for these tires, but I have traveled from central Pennsylvania to Canada going the maximum speed of 70 MPH without any difficulties, that is a distance over 500 miles one way.They are not mounted on rims. I hope this was helpful.

I thought they was a heavier ply tire as when I bought them it didn't state if they were or not but I have them on my 2500 suburban and there working great I haven't had much opportunity go try them in an off roading atmosphere but there great on the highway.

Easy, it's a super durable tire. I've taken them on mild downhill trails, though gravel trails, off rocks etc no problems. Also put nearly 400KM on them around the city this year.

I changed mine out for some 80mm wheels. You'll barely feel any crack or rocks in the road with those. It's various places online you can buy them.. You can buy them here

They are better than the factory tires but they are still just an "all terrain" tire. They aren't really great in mud. Sand ok. I live in Florida and we have plenty of both.

Yes I have pretty good luck with sand, gravel, grass. Not so good on pavement. Slide easy. Personally I think the stock stampede 4x4 tires are the best though.

The best dang tire you can buy for a truck weighing more than 8k lbs and needing great off road capabilities. Just curious. Why do you care about the sidewalls? Worried about curbs or bullets? lol.

Yes, They can. I fitted these to a Trek 29er that I ride primarily on road. I am constantly on and off sidewalks and stairs and these tires have handled their service well. They offer a blend of great on road traction and control and a profile height that allows enough air space between road and rim to allow for absorption of my somewhat abusive riding style. They also provide a smooth roll (fast and efficient). It may also be worth your while to consider an anti-puncture strip depending on your street conditions, but generally I am very satisfied with these tires.

I used them on a gocart. They wear pretty quickly if you drive hard. Raced about 8 total hours on a oval track and burned through them as front tires

They are good for a truck, they definitely are not trailer tires no matter what the other reviewers say. See previous answer for the difference in ratings for vehicle and trailers. Dan

I would highly recommend these tires. Haven't tried them in the snow yet. But within the next month I will know. They are great in rain and mud.

yes, they are highway tires. like a small car tire. i just drove my trailer 80 mph on the interstate and they did fine.

I would have to say yes. These tires seem quite sturdy and I'm impressed with their performance in the dry and in light rain. Haven't ridden in more severe weather. Still have some mold mark showing and now have 875 miles on the front tire - back tire is awaiting install once original front tire, since swapped to rear, wears out.

These tires are not whitewalls. However, they are a really good tire for rougher surfaces than city streets. I ride on some trails and old train beds where the rails have been removed.

I have the 700x23 and they are just at 23mm, I guess it also depends on how accurate your measurements are and on or off the rim...great tire though, handles the gravel that gets on the back roads and has been wearing very well...

The focus of these tires is less on speed and more on durability/puncture-proofing. As such, they are a little heavily than a tire that is geared specifically toward racing. These would make good training tires.
