Can't comment on the Chronicle as I never saw em in the wilds much less rode em. The XR2s felt great as long as the trails were dry and mostly moisture free and until the sidewalls died. The Knards, well, they roll on pavement great but I can't say I found any trails where they worked well, nor did any of my friends or customers that spent significant dirt time on em. The people still on them tend to go for urban rambles involving bridges and barley pops. Your locale and locals may vary in that regards and that's cool.
I think a short sidewalled meaty-ish semi slick (ala Minion SS) would have made a lot of people happier on plusses.
