Love that rubber compound, I just feel like Conti has missed the boat on tread patterns it works with - on a slightly knobbier semislick configuration, that tire would be glorious, and pairing that with a cut (or slightly simplified) baron out front would be a truly phenomenal combo... instead, those tires are basically no-go for me anytime knob penetration isn't high (slick rock, decomposing granite loose-over-hard), to where I can't use any of their tires other than the XC stuff.
