I used a Slaughter here in AZ, and got stuck in a monsoon rain storm by accident one day (in Prescott, so not typical decomposed granite like the Phoenix valley). It was literally the worst ride of my life, due to the amount of mud that accumulated on the tires. My 26lb plus bike weighed about 50lbs by the end of the ride, most of it on the tires, and I had to pull/drag my rig down the last mile as I couldn't clear the mud fast enough to go more than 20 feet. So yeah, I'd not recommend that.
