I swore by the Slaughter for a couple years, but after a new bike came with a DHR in back, it wasn’t as soul-crushing to pedal around as I expected, compared to the semi-slick. I found the Slaughter to be surprisingly versatile and it never really let me down, but dropping into something like a steep chute with wet, soft dirt, the tire was always in the back of my mind. So now I run grippier treads in back.
