Riders must weigh the benefits of grip with the downsides of rolling resistance when choosing mountain bike tires.
Slick tires like the one demonstrated in the video can reduce grip, making riding a struggle, especially on off-camber trail sections.
For a perfect compromise, some riders opt for a semi-slick tire with low-profile center knobs for straight-line speed and big side knobs for cornering grip.
Experiments like modifying tires can provide valuable insights into the design and functionality of different tire types, helping riders understand their preferences.
